Mythology of Pussy Dance

Choreographer Raynetta Rayzetta

Marvin X's favorite choreographer, Raynetta Rayzetta, has agreed to create a dance to accompany the reading of Mythology of Pussy.
She was ecstatic to learn Marvin X has written a work on manhood and womanhood training. But without her having read the book, Marvin is confident she can come up with a creative dance. She has been the best interpreter of his poetry in recent times, along with dancer Suzzette Celeste. Over the years, Marvin X has worked with many outstanding choreographers and dancers, including Raymond Sawyer, Nantizi Cayou, Ellendar Barnes, Jamilah Hunter, Nisa Ra and others.

Raynetta will perform with Marvin at the Joyce Gordon Gallery on Saturday, August 1, technically a book signing and conversation, but is shaping up to be an extravaganza in the X-man tradition. Percussionist Tacuma King and drummer Kokoman Clottey will perform, along with Augusta Collins, singer/guitarist.

Marvin loves the creativity of Raynetta because she can translate every word of his poetry into dance. She performed with him at his In the Crazy House in America concert at the Buriel Clay theatre, San Francisco, and at his concert with Amiri Baraka at the Berkeley Black Repertory Group Theatre.

Saturday, August 1, 3-5 pm, Joyce Gordon Gallery, 406 14th Street @ Franklin, downtown Oakland. Call 510-355-6339 for more information. It is a benefit for Black Bird Press and sponsored by Oakland Post Newspaper Group and Black Dialogue Brothers. Sisters supporting this event include Joyce Gordon, Sister Shukuru, Rashida Wongozi, Alona Clifton, Lanice Jones.
