Charlotte Blake Alston
Modeling her style after that of the Griot - the keeper of traditions and stories in African villages - Alston will capture the audience with her tales, songs, poems, impersonations and the sounds of traditional African instruments. A former teacher, Alston's performance will spread awareness regarding cultural diversity.
A recipient of many awards and honors, Alston has been recognized by the Pew Fellowship in the Arts - a Philadelphia Center for the Arts and Heritage program awarding grants to artists working in performing, visual and literary disciplines.
The performance is part of Bergen Community College's "This & That from Here & There" Performing Arts series. For ticket information or for a full schedule of events, please call Bergen's Office of Community and Cultural Affairs at 201-447-7428 or visit them on the Web at www.bergen.edu/cca
