Who could bring Jean-Claude Baker, dance historian Elizabeth Kendall, and New York Times critic Margo Jefferson to the same birthday celebration? The answer is Josephine Baker, the great African-American singer, dancer, actress, and activist who took France by storm in the 1920s and whose centenary is being marked in 2007. Canape joins in the celebration of a woman who built her own bridges between France and the USA. Since 1996, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and CUNY TV have produced together one of the few French programs to appear on American television: Canapé. Stylish and modern, Canapé is the only program entirely devoted to French cultural events in New York and the United States. This monthly half-hour show includes film releases, book translations, exhibitions, festivals, ballets, concerts and theater productions. Watch more at www.tv.cuny.edu/series/canape
