Put together to make an Overture to Orpheus


An impressionistic stab at putting glimpses of Arthur Hall's ballet
to the beautiful music of Odean Popeand Farel Johnson (Hafiz Shabazz).
Bruce Williams, editor. As Karen Warrington says, It's one thing to
imagine putting on a full length ballet. It's another to pull it off.




Arthur Hall Collection AHC.001.028.8MM
Copied to digital by Northeast Historic Film with a rather primative
Tobin telecine in 2010. Better digital copies could be made today.

The original 8mm film reels are in the Arthur Hall Collection at
Special Collections Research Center in Philadelphia.

Camera operator unknown. Perhaps Nana Takyiampon, known to shoot 8mm for Arthur Hall.
