Hi Judith, thank you for your beautiful tribute to Pearl Lang. I presented her and her company performing "The Dybuk" in 1975 at the Jewish "Y" in Philadelphia. She also taught a magnificent master class during the residency. Even though the theatre lacked many of the essentials needed for dance and the audience sat on bleachers, she never complained. I still remember the performance vividly. We also had time to talk over "tea" when setting up the residency. Her husband was directing or starring in a play in Philly at that time.
I also remember her dancing with Martha Graham, especially "Letter to the World." You and I very well could have been dancing at the 92nd Street Y, Fred Berk presiding and a great accordian player, Shai, I believe his name was, adding to the fun of it all. David, my husband, then my boyfriend, and I never missed a Wednesday night.
I'm sorry for your loss and hope that you have many opportunities to tell your stories about Pearl Lang, as I find that a healing balm.
