>> *AfroSocialiteLifeDiva* integrates movement, story, and sound to 
>> reveal portraits of women in transformation. Through autobiographical 
>> and mythic stories, Oliver's work follows the emotional and spiritual 
>> changes that take place from one generation to the next, from Harlem 
>> to the American South, to the Caribbean. With sweeping group 
>> choreographic sequences and individual anecdotes, 
>> AfroSocialiteLifeDiva tells the story of a heroic woman, a composite 
>> of generations of women whose body expresses the physical poetry of 
>> her heritage.
>>
>> The Krannert Art Museum is located at 500 East Peabody Drive,
> Champaign.

>> This project is supported by The University of Illinois, 
>> Urbana-Champaign, The Creative Capital Foundation, and the Illinois
