on dawn


november dawn

After the publication of Cries of a Young Girl and her sophomore book, the dawning, november dawn triumphantly returns with her haunting choreoplay Sunshine for a Midnight Weary. She commits her talents to the theatrical and film arena creating such works as Like Grown Folks Do, Light and Poor Man’s Blues. She is a tireless advocate of human decency and respect…no matter how she gets it across.

Pondering her purpose after her grandmother’s death on a November afternoon, Dawn received the concept of november dawn. “She encouraged her students to dream when blacks weren’t even allowed to. They became doctors, lawyers, and artists. She breathed new life into them by simply telling them to 'be'.There are lessons within us that have and give life beyond our own. Those are the lessons that I intend to bring.”

Dionne Franklin
