Sarah Kaufman, a staff writer for the Washington Post, will deliver a Crain Lecture Monday at 5 p.m. in the McCormick Tribune Forum. Her talk, titled “Raising the Barre: Provocative Dance Criticism that Moves Readers,” will focus on her career as a dance critic for the Post. Kaufman was the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize for Criticism this year. In 2000 Kaufman broke a controversial story about choreographer Martha Graham’s work, challenging the claims of her heir that they were not in the public domain. A court ruling later upheld her findings.
