"Dance Theatre of Harlem: 40 Years of Firsts" Exhibit tours to California!
Official Opening: February 4, 2010
:Dance Theatre of Harlem is proud to announce that we will make our return to the west coast with “Dance Theatre of Harlem: 40 Years of Firsts” which will be installed at the California African American Museum (CAAM) in Los Angeles, January 28 until June 6, 2010!

“Dance Theatre of Harlem: 40 Years of Firsts” is a multimedia exhibition that captures the 40 years of arts and accomplishment of Dance Theatre of Harlem. Through unique stage props, spectacular costumes, programs, posters, intimate photographs and more, this exhibition highlights the historic productions and community outreach that brought ballet to Harlem and the Dance Theatre of Harlem to the international stage.
In February 2009, DTH celebrated its 40th anniversary. In celebration of this event, we collaborated with the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center and launched a retrospective exhibition and public programs. If you are in the area, we hope you will be inspired to visit the museum to view our awe-inspiring photographs, video footage and memorabilia documenting the institution’s contribution to American history.

Turning 40 is a benchmark of our institution’s endurance, and a reminder of the love for ballet and the call for social justice that inspired our beginnings. But, turning 40 also entails a new call, a call to ensure that DTH’s hard earned legacy and artistic contributions remain an integral part of the american dance landscape and continue to develop new audiences. In addition, the exhibit at the museum has been organized by three DTH Alumni: Charmaine Jefferson, former Executive Director for DTH,

The California African American Museum is located at 600 State Drive, Exposition Park, Los Angeles, CA 90037, (213) 744-7432. Website:www.caamuseum.org
