WINSTON-SALEM Per
forming in New York's Lin
coln Center was only a dream
to Hunter Lamm of Wilson,
but that dream is coming true.
Lamm is launching her dan
cing career this summer in
Jazz Is, a national touring pro
duction of the North Carolina
School of ther Arts (NCSA),
that is appearing in major
cities during a five-week tour.
Sharing the spotlight in Jazz
Is is L'Tanya Wright of
Becklley, W.V., Jeff Hankin--i
son of Aiken, S.C., and Jerry
Ebree of Taylor, S.C. The
young performers say the tour
is a big step toward reaching
their career goals.
Sponsored by R.J. Reynolds
Industries, Jazz Is is playing in
, 20 cities across the nation this
I summer, including New York,
Chicago, Houston and San
Francisco.
Presented in fast-paced
vaudeville style, Jazz Is traces
the history of jazz from its
roots in African rhythms
through today's contemporary
sound. The influence of jazz
of gospel, dixieland, ragtime,
the blues and the big band
sound are highlighted through .
music, dance and drama.
The Jazz Is tour represents a
major achievement for
Wright, who began dancing at
age five as therapy for a birth
defect. Born two and one-half
'months early with : both feet
turned completely in, , her
chances of becoming a profes
sional dancer were slim. But atJ
! 19, Wright has overcome that
early handicap and hopes to
preform eventually on Broad-
way.
Lamm also plans to head
for head Broadway in the
future, and says Jazz Is is an
important testing ground for
her talent. "When I first
started dancing, everyone in
Wilson was very supportive. It ,
was like being a big fish in a
small bowl. When I got to
NCSA, however, I realized
that others had a great deal of
talent too, and I wasn't such a
big fish anymore. Jazz Is is a
wonderful chance to see if this
is really what I want to do with
my life, and if I have what it
takes to make it."
A recent graduate of NCSA,
Hankinson originally had
planned to study pharmacy.
He began dance lessons at the
insistence of friends a senior in
high school, and was accepted
at NCSA the following year.
The Jazz Is dance captain
soon found out tht he still had
a lot to learn about dancing.
"I was packed and ready to go
home after the first week at
NCSA," Hankinson said.
' "One instructor told me not to
come, back to class until I had :
learned the basic dance posi-;
tions. My friends tutored me
in their spare time, but it took
me almost a semester before I
felt I could really make it at
NCSA." :
Now 21, Hankinson says he
wants to join a classical ballet
company, and perhaps dance,
with the dance Theatre of:
Harlem..; , .:-,;,;;;
Embree brings a different
, talent to Jazz Is, and is a sax
ophonistflutist during the
tour. A rjsing.coHege junior at
NCSA, he began his training
in his training between study
ing music or marine biology,
but decided he would have
more career flexibility as a
professional musician.
Jazz Is .is especially impor
tant to Embree, who says he,
hopes to perform eventually"
with a jazz rock band. "You
can neve tell who might be
listening in the audience, and .
exposure is essential for'
anyone who wants to make it !
in the music profession," he
says.
These young performers
have good reasons to set their
professional goals so high.
Students trained at NCSA in'
four major disciplines .
dance, design and production,
drama and music are
employed by nearly every ma
jor theater, dance and or
chestral group in New York.
