Let’s Talk About Race: Paul Zaloom and Christal Brown
Saturday, September 12 at 12:30pm EDT (New York) /  9:30am PDT (San Francisco) / 16:30 GMT / 5:30pm BST (London).

During this first interview, Paul Zaloom, creator of White Like Me, will sit down with Christal Brown, Chair of Dance at Middlebury College.  Ms. Brown is the founder of Inspirit, a multi-dimensional dance company that engages with communities to forge a visceral and emotional connection, expressing collective hopes, struggles, and truths.

Paul Zaloom is a comedic puppeteer, political satirist, filmmaker, and performance artist who lives and works in Los Angeles and tours his work all over the world. Zaloom has written, designed, and performed 14 full length solo spectacles, including Fruit of Zaloom, Zaloominations, Sick But True, Velvetville, The Mother of All Enemies, and the current spectacle, White Like Me: A Honky Dory Puppet Show.

Christal Brown (choreographer, educator, performer, writer, and activist) is a native of Kinston, North Carolina, and received her BFA in dance and minor in business from the University of NC at Greensboro. Upon graduation, Brown went on to tour nationally with Chuck Davis' African-American Dance Ensemble and internationally with Andrea E. Woods/Souloworks. Immediately following those experiences, Brown performed with and managed Gesel Mason Performance Projects while apprenticing with the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange in Takoma Park, Maryland. Upon relocating to New York Brown, apprenticed with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company before finding a home with Urban Bush Women, where she spent three seasons as a principal performer, community specialist, and apprentice program coordinator.
