Final: Choose a Black Performance with dance elements to analyze. Since we are unable to attend a live dance concert, you all get to choose the performance. This can be a music video, a recorded live performance, a site-specific or gallery work, a second-line or festival performance. (No less than a page and no more than 5-pages, times new roman, 12 pt. font, double-spaced) The idea is to imagine you’re a writer for a magazine, blog, or newspaper, and critically examine a Black performance. We will discuss this more on Tuesday and look at reviews in our zoom class. Historically, Black performances have been written and critiqued in ways that enhance and perpetuate Black stereotypes. Your job is to analyze and write based on content, context, historical connection, aesthetics, and opinion. This does not mean you have to glorify the performance you choose, you can critique.
