Pablo Davis describing the work of Diego Rivera at the D.I.A.

EBFE was honored to be invited to an exhibition by Pablo Davis. He is a very special friend of ours as we have had the opportunity to present a unique choreography for his work with Diego Rivera.

What a wonderful evening of music, dance and inspirational words as Pablo presented his documentation of working with Diego Rivera during the creation of the "Detroit Industry" mural. The book and DVD (both entitled, "the Sixth Layer") were the result of a very fulfilling collaboration with Wayne State University's Department of Interdisciplinary Stud...ies, supervised by Dr. Fran Shor, in memory of Dr. Eric Bockstael. The 100+ supporters of this project enjoyed music by Danny Runey, Kristin Coy with"Birds on a Wire," and presentations by Mexican Consul, Vicente Sanchez Ventura, Bronze Sponsor, Julie Poll, Sharon Dolente (filling in for her husband, State Representative Steve Tobocman who was working hard to solve the recent Michigan state budget crisis in Lansing), television producer, Tom LoCicero, Wayne State Administrator, Antonetta Johnson-Gardner, and of course, Pablo, himself. Perhaps the most moving part of the program was a new ballet performed by El Ballet Folklorico Estudiantil, choreographed by its director, Susana Quintanilla, entitled, "A Time for Healing". The dance transformed painted images from the great "Detroit Industry" mural into rhythmical dance movements which told the story of the mural to the music of Carlos Santana and John Lee HookerSee More
