   Extractions: Associate Professor Theatre and Dance Ntozake Shange Ntozake Shange's revolutionary artistic style has inspired readers and audience members around the world. Her written works have been included in over a dozen anthologies in the company of such literary giants as Maya Angelou, Zora Neale Hurston, and Alice Walker, and her innovative plays have lead her to become the second most produced playwright in American regional theatre. Through her bold originality and creativity, Shange invented the "choreopoem," an integration of poetry, movement, music, and dance that bridges the literary and theatrical worlds. Shange was born Paulette Williams in Trenton, New Jersey and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Growing up, her parents fueled her with a diversity of art, music, and culture and encouraged her as she began writing at a very young age. Williams continued to write when she left for Barnard College in 1966 and gave her first formal poetry reading two years later. She graduated in 1970 with a degree in American Studies and began graduate school at the University of Southern California, receiving her Masters Degree in English Literature in 1973. It was there that she changed her name to Ntozake Shange, which is Zulu for "she who comes with her own things" and "she who walks like a lion." Since then, Shange has gone on to write dozens of celebrated works, including novels, poetry, screenplays, essays and plays that have been translated and distributed globally. Her achievements throughout her lifetime earned her the title of "Living Legend of Black Theater" by the National Black Theater Festival, as well as such honors as a Guggenheim Fellowship (1981), two honorary doctorate degrees, and the naming of the official "Ntozake Shange Day" by the city of Houston and the Texas State Legislature.

    Extractions: Ntozake Shange was born Paulette Williams in 1948. She developed her interests for the arts and literature through the encouragement of her parents. In the company of her parents' group of talented friends, including W.E.B. DuBois Dizzy Gillespie , and Miles Davis , Shange was nurtured for a place in cultural leadership. Shange completed her undergraduate degree at Barnard College, and during her graduate studies at UCLA, she took on an African name, as an expression of her sense of self-determination. "Ntozake" means she who comes with her own things, and "Shange" means she who walks like a lion. After graduating, Shange taught at various colleges in California and performed poetry and dance with several group, including her own company. She moved to New York, where her choreopoem (a series of poems choreographed like a dance sequence) made its way to Broadway in 1975. This play, for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf, won an Obie and an Outer Critics Circle award. The play was revolutionary, especially in its presentation of contemporary Black women's voicing of their struggles with life in urban America.

    Extractions: (pronounced en-to-zaki shong-gay) BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Ntozake Shange was born Paulette Williams in Trenton, New Jersey on October 18, 1948. In 1971 she changed her name to Ntozake Shange which means "she who comes with her own things" and "she who walks like a lion" in Xhosa, the Zulu language. Her father was an Air Force surgeon and her mother was an educator and a psychiatric social worker. The Williams were upper middle class African Americans whose love of the arts contributed to an intellectually stimulating childhood for Shange and her three siblings. Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Chuck Berry, and W. E. B. Du Bois were among the frequent guests at her parents' house. In 1966 Shange enrolled at Barnard College and separated from her husband, a law student. She attempted suicide several times. Nonetheless, she graduated cum laude in American Studies in 1970 and entered the University of Southern California at Los Angeles, where she earned a master's degree in American Studies in 1973. While living in California and teaching humanities and women's studies courses at Mills College in Oakland, the University of California Extension, and Sonoma State College, Shange began to associate with poets, teachers, performers, and black and white feminist writers who nurtured her talents. Shange and her friends began to perform their poetry, music, and dance in and around the San Francisco Area. Shange also danced with Halifu Osumare's company.

Perhaps best known for her play . . . for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf (1977), Shange in her new book interweaves recipes with memories in a generous banquet celebrating the cultural significance of certain foods. In recollecting places lived or visited, Shange questions the derivation and preparation of various comestibles, while observing the way traditions vary from state to state. Recalling impressions of countries such as Nicaragua, England, and Cuba, Shange paints a fervent, richly impassioned chronicle of African American experience, at the same time making note of political situations and discord among the peoples of these nations and recording how connections are made beyond issues of class or skin color. Recipes serve as savory, nourishing garnishesat once enhancing and adding a qualified zest to Shange's potent commentaries. Alice Joyce Top of Page Adult Booklist Index Booklist Archive ...

Her "nonlinear" approach to dramatic structure has been compared by Sandra Richards to the work of playwrights such as Antonin Artaud, Amiri Baraka, and Bertolt Brecht (1991, p. 379). At the same time, the play has been controversial because of its frank discussion of social problems within the African-American community. Despite the controversy that greeted For Colored Girls . . .
