The Making of the Documentary: Awakening in Taos by Director Mark Gordon

This program is generously sponsored by Jennifer E. & Charles F. Sands.

Awakening in Taos tells the story of Mabel Dodge Luhan’s personal evolution as a writer, salon hostess, art patroness, social activist and a resident of New Mexico. Born in Buffalo, New York, Mabel was a woman unique to her time. Her influence extended into the world of arts, music, literature and activism for social change. In her late 30s, she experienced a life-altering arrival at a small town in Northern New Mexico and embraced a Native culture in a way that seized the attention of the artistic and literary world. Dodge helped put Taos on the world map as a place of distinctive beauty and transformative spiritual power.

This 1-hour documentary will be screened followed by a live Q&A about how the film was made. We will also screen a 10-minute sneak preview of Man of Many Colors, the sequel to Awakening in Taos, and give a brief presentation about this current documentary in production.
