Florida State University Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor of Dance Jawole Willa Jo Zollar’s ‘Black Jam’ was recently reviewed by Claudia La Rocco in The New York Times.

But Ms. Zollar made her intellectual points too, about the varied cultures and traditions that have long fed her as an artist….Here you could see a larger social and political history, compressed into a gloriously diverse form. And you could see it in conversation with contemporary dance, with black dance, with New York: the world rushed in through the open windows.”
