This multi-media exhibit captures the majesty of the choreography, the beauty of the costuming, the dancers who defied gravity and stereotyping, plus Mitchell’s wide ranging accomplishments. In 2009, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center and DTH exhibited the company’s rare costumes, photos and other memorabilia. CAAM has supplemented the exhibit with the staging of costumes and video from four iconic ballets, added life-sized banners and other imagery to illuminate the history for which Dance Theatre of Harlem and Arthur Mitchell have received over 300 official citations for excellence.
