   Title = {Dancing Revelations: Alvin Ailey's Embodiment of African
             American Culture},
   Pages = {1-320},
   Publisher = {Oxford University Press},
   Year = {2011},

   Abstract = {In the early 1960s, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
             was a small, multi-racial company of dancers that performed
             the works of its founding choreographer and other emerging
             artists. By the late 1960s, the company had become a
             well-known African American artistic group closely tied to
             the civil rights struggle. This book chronicles the troupe's
             journey from a small modern dance company to one of the
             premier institutions of African American culture. The book
             not only charts this rise to national and international
             renown, but also contextualizes this progress within the
             civil rights, women's rights, and gay rights struggles of
             the late 20th century. It examines the most celebrated Ailey
             dances, drawing on video recordings of Ailey's dances,
             published interviews, oral histories, and interviews with
             former Ailey company dancers. The book reveals the
             relationship between Ailey's works and African American
             culture as a whole. It illuminates the dual achievement of
             Ailey as an artist and as an arts activist committed to
             developing an African American presence in dance. It also
             addresses concerns about how dance performance is
             documented, including issues around spectatorship and the
             display of sexuality, the relationship of Ailey's dances to
             civil rights activism, and the establishment and maintenance
             of a successful, large-scale Black Arts institution.
             Throughout, the book illustrates how Ailey combined elements
             of African dance with motifs adapted from blues, jazz, and
             Broadway to choreograph his dances, arguing that Ailey
             played a significant role in defining the African American
             cultural canon.},

   Title = {The Routledge Companion to African American Theatre and
             Performance},
   Pages = {1-426},
   Publisher = {Routledge},
   Year = {2018},
   Month = {January},

   Abstract = {The Routledge Companion to African American Theatre and
             Performance is an outstanding collection of specially
             written essays that charts the emergence, development, and
             diversity of African American Theatre and Performance—from
             the nineteenth-century African Grove Theatre to
             Afrofuturism. Alongside chapters from scholars are
             contributions from theatre makers, including producers,
             theatre managers, choreographers, directors, designers, and
             critics. This ambitious Companion includes: A "Timeline of
             African American theatre and performance." Part I "Seeing
             ourselves onstage" explores the important experience of
             Black theatrical self-representation. Analyses of diverse
             topics including historical dramas, Broadway musicals, and
             experimental theatre allow readers to discover expansive
             articulations of Blackness. Part II "Institution building"
             highlights institutions that have nurtured Black people both
             on stage and behind the scenes. Topics include Historically
             Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), festivals, and
             black actor training. Part III "Theatre and social change"
             surveys key moments when Black people harnessed the power of
             theatre to affirm community realities and posit new
             representations for themselves and the nation as a whole.
             Topics include Du Bois and African Muslims, women of the
             Black Arts Movement, Afro-Latinx theatre, youth theatre, and
             operatic sustenance for an Afro future. Part IV "Expanding
             the traditional stage" examines Black performance traditions
             that privilege Black worldviews, sense-making, rituals, and
             innovation in everyday life. This section explores
             performances that prefer the space of the kitchen,
             classroom, club, or field. This book engages a wide audience
             of scholars, students, and theatre practitioners with its
             unprecedented breadth. More than anything, these invaluable
             insights not only offer a window onto the processes of
             producing work, but also the labour and economic issues that
             have shaped and enabled African American
             theatre.},

   Abstract = {What are the terms of “beauty” as an action that may be
             achieved in dance? How do African-American artists approach
             the performance of “beauty?" In a preliminary
             consideration of these questions, this paper offers a
             case-study analysis of two works by choreographer Donald
             Byrd: The Harlem Nutcracker (1996), a revision of the
             Petipa-Ivanov ballet set to Duke Ellington’s swing
             adaptation of Tchaikovsky’s score, and Life Situations:
             Daydreams on Giselle (1995), a postmodern version of the
             quintessential Romantic ballet. Working through prisms of
             feminist and Africanist aesthetic theory, I suggest
             strategies to critique identity formation within dance
             performance as a function of aggressive irony, inversion,
             and the triumph of technical precision. Byrd’s
             choreography constructs “beauty” as a function of black
             Atlantic1 performance practice, as an act that may be
             socially progressive in its intentions, and an action that
             may hold material consequences for its performers and
             audiences.},

             methodology to appreciate their creative work. The legacies
             of more familiar dance artists, including Pearl Primus and
             Katherine Dunham, are discussed in relation to achievements
             and interventions by less-discussed, but no less important,
             African American women including Joan Myers Brown, Judy
             Dearing, Thelma Hill, Carole Johnson, and Edisa Weeks. The
             essay offers evidence of a radical creative tradition within
             these genealogies; one that has been less widely appreciated
             by mainstream histories of dance, but surely influential in
             the creation of American concert dance.},

   Abstract = {This chapter considers the tripartite formation of who,
             what, and how in considerations of Africanist aesthetics and
             Black mobilizations that fuel contemporary ballet. Who
             dances contemporary ballet, and are they Black? What sorts
             of Black dance movements are deployed in contemporary
             ballet? And, most important, how does a Black attitude mark
             performances within ballet as belonging to a contemporary
             moment? The chapter presumes that contemporary ballet
             emerges in direct relationship to Africanist aesthetics. It
             considers work by William Forsythe, Alonzo King, and Twyla
             Tharp as a trio of artists whose work continues to circulate
             with different relationships to questions of Black dancers,
             dances, dancing, and the contemporary.},

   Abstract = {This article explores the work of choreographer Dianne
             McIntyre as an improvisational artist entangled in questions
             of intermedial relations among sounds and motions. It
             discusses the terms of performance in relation to emergent
             paradigms of Afro-pessimism, and argues for a black regard
             as a method of engaging with experimental performances by
             artists of African descent. The article explores theoretical
             terms of witness and encounter with black performance in
             relation to queer alterities, and non-normative modes of
             physical expression. The article suggests further need for
             research into the work of an outstanding black American
             female artist of theatre and dance.},
