In this second half of a special 2-part Hear the Dance episode celebrating the life and work of late choreographer Ulysses Dove, host Silas Farley interviews Ulysses\\u2019 brother Alfred, Director and Administrator of Ulysses\\u2019 estate. Beginning with his childhood in South Carolina and Georgia, Dove traces his brother\\u2019s transition from a talented pre-med student at Howard University to a dancer with the Merce Cunningham Company, to his first works as a choreographer commissioned by Alvin Ailey. Dove shares his recollections not only of Ulysses as a sibling, but as a creator, and discusses how continuing to engage with his brother\\u2019s works as they are performed by Companies today is like returning to an old friend\\u2014one that \\u201cgives the dancers the opportunity to live completely out loud\\u2026 if they take the risk.\\u201d (46:49)
