Contemporary Improvisation for Black Men

Contemporary Improvisation for Black Men presents: 

Decolonizing the Black Male Body, Self, and Masculinities Through Dance

Led by Dr. Carl Paris

This workshop draws on a combination of Franz Fanon’s ideas about decolonizing the body and participants’ ideas about dancing-self through contexts of masculinity. Participants will use movement improvisation, text, and other creative strategies to reflect on issues that concern them as black male dancing artists. This exploration culminates with presentations and dialogue about the ideas that emerge. a??
