	VG: Artist Biography: Sears, Djanet
		Djanet Sears was born Janet Sears in London, England to parents of Caribbean descent - her mother is Jamaican, and her father is Guyanese.
		Sears chooses to set her play at this location because, as she explains, “I wanted an urban setting that would resonate for all North Americans, and because given that the play is an excavation of the question of importance of race, those boiling points appear to be more tangible in the U.S. than here.
		All of Sears’s characters confront a white-dominated culture, whether it be in the form of Djanet’s relation to her surroundings in Canada as a child, or in Rainey’s father’s relation to the use of lawn ornaments and museum artifacts in his community.

	Eye - Backstage - 04.24.97
		But while there are scenes set in 1928, and a few in 1860, the vast majority of Harlem Duet takes place in the present, in Harlem, at the intersection of 125th and 40th: otherwise known (fittingly) as Martin Luther King and Malcolm X boulevards.
		Sears dubs the play a "blues rhapsody," with the cello -- an intentionally odd choice for the blues -- representing the Western European cultural contribution to the fl North American dialectic.
		Sears, perhaps best known theatrically for her acclaimed 1990 "autobiomythography" Afrika Solo, has obviously put a lot of thought into creating Harlem Duet, and benefited most recently from a workshop at the important Joe Papp Theatre in New York.

	Eye - Adventures in conservatism - 02.14.02
		Du Maurier Theatre, 231 Queens Quay W. Every word, movement and performance cadence in Djanet Sears' The Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God shows a playwright and director intent on treating herself, her cast and her audience to the very best she can conjure emotionally and intellectually.
		But Sears and Obsidian Theatre, a new theatre company dedicated to telling the stories of fl Canadians, hide it well underneath a cloak of African-inspired theatricality and broad humour destined to appeal to mass audiences (fl and otherwise).
		At the very least, Sears has given the tired identity-politics theatre a much-needed kick in the butt, and we should all be grateful for that.

	Eye - Divine drama - 11.13.03
		Djanet Sears' Adventures is a triumph for everyone involved.
		It's a big play about big issues that reaches a powerfully emotional conclusion that is all the more uplifting for being so hard won.
		Inspired by traditional African drama, Sears employs a chorus of 15 singer-dancer "Ancestors." Their exquisite a cappella singing and their graceful performance of Vivine Scarlett's sinuous choreography create transitions between scenes and establish the Ancestors as the omnipresent divinity of Nature that Abendigo longs to join and Rainey comes to accept.
