Healing African Dance

In this engaging presentation, choreographer and former Fulbright scholar Angela Watson explores one of the most essential elements of African dance----the ability to heal. Through lecture, video and demonstration, audiences learn about different categories of African dance (e.g. social, folklore, and ritual) that are performed in various contexts in African life---from births, to naming ceremonies, to weddings, to deaths. Audience members can participate by learning the movements of dance.
