#800: Lavinia Williams and Haitian dance: Bob Corbett sites sources
I had never heard of Lavinia Williams and have nothing about her in my
library, but when I ran a search I was astonished at what she's produced.
I will now be working to find some of these. However, I must caution the
optomistic, I've been a very aggressive seeking of Haiti materials for
the past 16 years and have NEVER seen a work of hers offered.
Along the way she added the last name of Yarborough, so works by her
are found under both names.
Here's what I found:
1.

The Lavinia Williams Oral History Collection, with Haitian
Dance Demonstrations documents the life of Lavinia Williams
and includes dance demonstrations for sacred dances and other
activities. The collection includes a three part oral history
interview that documents Williams' childhood, early dance
caeer, Hatian expereince, other Carribean experiences, and
includes a discussion on Haitian dance. The dance
demonstrations include six sacred dances that are part of the
Rada Rite and other dance demonstration footage that
documents Lavinia's work in Haiti.
Lavinia Williams was a dancer and a dance teacher, and was
considered a leader in teaching Haitian dance.
