What is the essence of black dance in America? To answer that question; Brenda Dixon Gottschild maps an unorthodox geography; the geography of the black dancing body; to show the central place black dance has in American culture. From the feet to the butt; to hair to skin/face; and beyond to the soul/spirit; Brenda Dixon Gottschild talks to some of the greatest choreographers of our day including Garth Fagan; Francesca Harper; Meredith Monk; Brenda Buffalino; Doug Elkins; Ralph Lemon; Fernando Bujones; Bill T. Jones; Trisha Brown; Jawole Zollar; Bebe Miller; Sean Curran and Shelly Washington to look at the evolution of black dance and its importance to American culture. This is a groundbreaking piece of work by one of the foremost African-American dance critics of our day.
