TA 133 - African Inspirations: A Dance Collaboration

“African Inspirations” uses the music-movement relationship to explore connections between traditional African dance and Western dance principles. Students will learn Pearl Primus’ interpretations of two African dances—”Fanga,” a dance of welcome, and “Bushasche,” a war dance for peace—and develop small group pieces based on this material, re-interpreted through their own bodies and new rhythmic “conversations.” Musicians—particularly percussionists and singers—are welcome to join the project, as the course is accessible to novice and experienced dancers alike. No prerequisites. Offered Bi-annually.

Anticipated Terms Offered: Spring 2014
