Extractions: (pronounced en-to-zaki shong-gay) BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Ntozake Shange was born Paulette Williams in Trenton, New Jersey on October 18, 1948. In 1971 she changed her name to Ntozake Shange which means "she who comes with her own things" and "she who walks like a lion" in Xhosa, the Zulu language. Her father was an Air Force surgeon and her mother was an educator and a psychiatric social worker. The Williams were upper middle class African Americans whose love of the arts contributed to an intellectually stimulating childhood for Shange and her three siblings. Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Chuck Berry, and W. E. B. Du Bois were among the frequent guests at her parents' house. In 1966 Shange enrolled at Barnard College and separated from her husband, a law student. She attempted suicide several times. Nonetheless, she graduated cum laude in American Studies in 1970 and entered the University of Southern California at Los Angeles, where she earned a master's degree in American Studies in 1973. While living in California and teaching humanities and women's studies courses at Mills College in Oakland, the University of California Extension, and Sonoma State College, Shange began to associate with poets, teachers, performers, and black and white feminist writers who nurtured her talents. Shange and her friends began to perform their poetry, music, and dance in and around the San Francisco Area. Shange also danced with Halifu Osumare's company. Upon leaving the company she began collaborating with Paula Moss on the poetry, music, and dance that would become

Extractions: Born Paulette Williams on October 18, 1948 in Trenton, New Jersey, Ntozake Shange rose to national prominence following the 1975 production of her play, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf: A Choreopoem . Known first for her work as an actress and playwright, Shange has also received acclaim over the past two decades for her work as a poet and novelist. For Colored Girls . . . has been lauded for its innovative use of music, dance, and poetry, as a central part of the dramatic narrative. Her "nonlinear" approach to dramatic structure has been compared by Sandra Richards to the work of playwrights such as Antonin Artaud, Amiri Baraka, and Bertolt Brecht (1991, p. 379). At the same time, the play has been controversial because of its frank discussion of social problems within the African-American community. Despite the controversy that greeted For Colored Girls . . .

Extractions: Born Paulette Williams in Trenton, New Jersey to Paul T. Williams (namesake), a surgeon, and Eloise Williams, a psychiatric social worker and educator. She is the oldest of four children of an upper middle class family. In 1956, when she was five years old, her family moved to a then, racially segregated St. Louis, where she enjoyed music, dance, art, literature, and opera; though at a German-American school she suffered blatant racism as a part of the dawn of the Brown versus Board of Education decision. She was an avid reader of Jean Genet, Herman Melville, and Langston Hughes. She also came in contact with great musicians and singers like Dizzy Gillespie, Chuck Berry, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Josephine Baker, all friends of her parents. W.E.B. DuBois was also a family visitor. In 1961 she returned to New Jersey, completed high school and became increasingly aware of the inequities of the American society on Black females; five years later she enrolled at Bernard College. Soon after this she attempted suicide (more than once) after a recent separation from her law school husband and a deep sense of bitterness and alienation. Upon gathering herself she earned a bachelor's degree with honors in American studies from Barnard College in 1970, a master's degree in American studies from the University of Southern California in 1973. In 1971 she decided to take an African name: Ntozake means "she who comes with her own things, and Shange means, "who walks like a lion." This change reinforced her inner strength and to redirect her life. Shange has taught humanities, women's studies, and Afro-American studies from 1972-1975 at Sonoma State College, Mills College, and University of California Extension.

Inventing her own dramatic medium, Shange created the choreopoem, a combination of narrative text, dance, and music. Her music opens up as many avenues as possible to the exploration of the diverse experiences of the oppressed. Born Paulette Williams, the daughter of a surgeon and psychiatric social worker, Ntozake Shange spent her early years in Trenton, New Jersey in privileged circumstances. Her parents' friends, including Josephine Baker, Miles Davis, and W. E. B. Du Bois, provided a culturally-affirming black atmosphere. The family moved to St. Louis, Missouri when Shange was eight where, she was one of the first students to integrate a school. Depressed by a failed teenage marriage and the limitations she encountered as a talented black women, Shange attempted suicide several times during her years at Barnard College (1966-1970). She began a new chapter of her life during graduate study at the University of Southern California (USC) in 1973, when she changed her name to the Zulu words Ntozake, "she who comes with her own things" and Shange, "who walks like a lion." After taking an M.A. from the USC, Shange moved to the San Francisco Bay Area where she taught women's studies and writing at area colleges and universities while performing her own poetry and dance.
