"JAMES BALDWIN: ARTIST AND ACTIVIST" 

Our Special Guest Is Charles Reese.

Actor, Author, Educator And Cultural Architect for Public Engagement.

 

CHARLES REESE will bring his unique theatrical experience of poetry/spoken word, prose and history-telling to re-ignite the fiery spirit of the
legendary writer and expatriate, James Arthur Baldwin (1924 -1987).

"James Baldwin was an African-American novelist, essayist, playwright, poet and social critic. His essays, as collected in
 Notes of a Native Son  (1955), explore palpable yet unspoken intricacies of racial, sexual, and class distinctions in Western societies, most notably in mid-20th-century

America, and their inevitable if unnameable tensions.[1] Some Baldwin essays are book-length, for instance The Fire Next Time (1963), 
No Name in the Street (1972),

and The Devil Finds Work (1976). His second novel isGiovanni's Room, written in 1956 well before gay rights were widely espoused in America.[2] " (Source: Wikipedia.org)

James Baldwin is a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.

Charles Reese is a professional performance artist who works in theater, television, independent film, voice-overs and micro web series.

Reese is best known for his critically acclaimed Off-Broadway performance in "James Baldwin: A Soul on Fire" by the late playwright Howard B. Simon.

He is editor of the playbook "James Baldwin: A Soul on Fire" (Glover Lane Press, 2011) and a contributing writer to James Baldwin: Challenging

Authors (Sense Publishers, 2014). Reese has been selected to present at the International James Baldwin Conference at The American University of Paris. May 26-28, 2016.

"April (Parisian) Showers That Bring May Flowers" 

Our Special Guests Are Bassist Tom McKenzie And Harpist Tiphenn Fauchois (on the N'goni, a West African Harpe)

(Standards. Jazz. Pop.)

"When April showers may come your way. They bring the flowers that bloom in May"

(Lyrics from Judy Garland's interpretation of the song "April Showers", first performed by Al Jolson in 1921.)

Says Tom about this instrument:

"La Contrebasse.  La Grand-mère.  String bass.  Bass fiddle.  Double bass.  Bull bass.  Bass viol.  

She is called by many names and her function in any musical ensemble is to, "basically", lay down the groove: provide the bottom (base) of the harmony and rhythm. 

But, her melodic range is broad, and she can sing you to tears as well as make you feel that thump in your rump.  

Tom McKenzie is originally from New York and has had an international career for 30 plus years playing in a wide variety of venues: churches, theatres, concerts, festivals, recording studios. He has also been a street musician. He has worked in the US, Europe Africa and the Caribbean.

It's €25.00 (EXACT CHANGE) for a fun dinner.

Address: At a fun venue in the center of Paris. Address details with the reservation.

 

A fun dinner, a great topic, meeting and networking with, fun, new international people.
