About the Speakers
Darryl “DMC” McDaniels was a founding member of Run-D.M.C., the first rap group to gain mainstream superstardom. The group burst out of New York City in the early 1980s with an aggressive, stripped-down sound that laid the blueprint for modern hip-hop. With Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons and Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell, McDaniels elevated rap from the club scene to the pop charts on the strength of such forceful, boast-heavy tracks as “It’s Like That,” “King of Rock,” “My Adidas,” and their breakout hit “Walk This Way,” a collaboration with Aerosmith that made them the first rap act to reach the heights of the R&B and pop charts. During the early 1990s McDaniels delved deeply into his own past to discover he was adopted at an early age. His quest for self-discovery informed much of his subsequent creative and philanthropic efforts.
Pattie Canova is a psychological intuitive, tarot reader, teacher, lecturer, writer, and performer. As a tarot reader Canova works with the Mythic deck and incorporates dream work into her readings. Informed by a background in theater, mythology, writing, metaphysics and a deep interest in spirituality, Canova incorporates keen analyses and constructive insights into her work, following a “what you think is what you’ll see” philosophy. Her popular one-woman show Souled Out, was an off-Broadway hit for a decade. She is currently a faculty member at the National Council of Geocosmic Research and conducts private tarot workshops. Her previous appearance at the Rubin was in the Red Book Dialogues in 2009, a series of expositions on the work of C. G. Jung.
