Description
Black British dance is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, encompassing a wide range of performing arts from dancehall to ballet. This book brings together diverse voices to explore its theory, performance, pedagogy, identity, and culture. Through critical and creative essays, it challenges the idea that Blackness, Britishness, or dance are monolithic entities, instead revealing them as living networks created by rich histories, diverse faces, and infinite future possibilities. By examining these different aspects of Black British dance, this book offers valuable insights into its creation and significance. By widening our conceptions of what British dance looks like, where it appears, and who is involved in its creation, this book provides a nuanced understanding of this important cultural practice.
