This course continues the inquiry begun in AAST/THEA 268 focusing on the Western Hemispheric inheritance from traditional African cultures. This course will focus on performance in sacred and secular cultures of the African Diaspora in the mid-to-late 20th century. The class will hone performance skills through in-class exercises and assignments, and intellectual and critical skills through reading, discussions, presentations, journals and critical papers examining aesthetic and cultural performance theories. The course will culminate in a final performance.
