& International Artists
Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre was founded by Prof. Donald Muldrow
Griffith, Prof. Gayle McKinney Griffith, Lynnda Curry, Ricky Powell and Detlef
Bäcker, four American artists and a German colleague, who met in Berlin during
1979 at Theater des Westens and decided to undertake intercultural, interdisciplinary
and international productions in dance, theatre, television, workshops, film/video
festivals and publications.
This exhibition paints a picture of the activities of various people during
their historical contributions to Berlin, elsewhere and hence, the portrait
seeks to prevent these undertakings from becoming "Footprints in the Sand?".
"FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND?"
The lessons of history arrive in the form of personal experiences, books, media presentations, paintings, architecture and so on.
How these materials are interpreted and perhaps, through the ages, re-interpreted assuming the information is included, varies according to the group or the individual perspective, interests, socio-economic influences and opportunities.
As we pass through the formal educational process, we are informed of histories; others and ours.
It generally requires an enlightened mentor or parent to point out what is overlooked in the presentation of history, so earnestly injected into our academic and formative education.
Many years ago, as this awareness of history's exceptions were realized, my parents, John Willis Griffith, Edith Paulina Griffith, and my mentor, Oscar Brown Jr., pointed out the necessity for assuming responsibility and making sacrifices necessary to enlighten shadows and fill empty historical spaces.
So, the development of information, awareness, heightened sensibility and maturation leads to inevitable conclusions.
Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre from inception in 1980, remains an initiative and institution for the documentation and preservation of the existence and contributions of individuals and groups, to the societies in which they and we reside.
We are participants in the process of embedding in memories and stone, what previously might have been, "Footprints in the Sand?".
