Donald McKayle
The Beginning
As Donald McKayle recounted in an interview at Jacob’s Pillow, he first met Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis in 1952 when he was invited by Doris Hering to share a joint concert with them at the Museum of Natural History in New York City.Norton Owen, Interview with Donald McKayle, Joe Nash, and Chuck Davis, August 20, 1998, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival.McKayle was mesmerized by Shawn and St. Denis’s offering of duets and solos that included their standard repertory works such as Josephine and Hippolyte, Spear Dance, and Black and Gold Sari. Ibid. McKayle’s part of the program consisted of his newly-choreographed work Games, which he had premiered at the Hunter Playhouse a year earlier. Impressed with the young artist’s work, Shawn invited him to appear at Jacob’s Pillow the following summer, and also asked him if he could present a new work. McKayle was working on Nocturne at the time, so Shawn’s request fit handily into his plans.Ibid.
McKayle had been influenced by a number of experiences by the time he embarked on a choreographic career. When he was growing up in New York City, his curiosity often led him to explore the city’s theater district, where he stood outside the theaters and looked admiringly at posters

I’m starting a new series devoted to outstanding dance artists who have either faded from memory, had too short a dance life, or are left out of the dance books. I’ve been around long enough to witness absolutely unique people getting lost in the mists of time. I plan to add one person each month, drawn from the long list of people I’ve either seen myself or heard about and am curious about. Some of them were praised at the height of their careers but gained no permanent traction. Others were never fully recognized for their contributions. This series is an attempt to rebalance the books—the dance books.
First up is Eleo Pomare. Recently, when I mentioned him in my dance history class, no one knew his name. But when the students saw a clip of his work on YouTube, they said, “Why haven’t we heard of him?”

Eleo Pomare was one of New York City’s unforgettable dance artists of the 1960s. When I saw him in a DanceMobile show (basically a flatbed truck that toured inner-city neighborhoods), he performed a drastic solo from Over Here (1968). While the American anthem was playing, Pomare was mimicking retching. It was so real, so alarmingly visceral, that you could practically see his innards thrusting up through his throat. This remains the most extreme public response to ou
