The Black Male Performing Body
Presented by Colin Poole
In this presentation I discuss my choreographic work in relation to the black male performing body. Through examples drawn from my solo and collaborative practice I examine creativity from the margins. I, both acknowledge the marginal role blackness plays in white contemporary dance and the creative potential of blackness to disrupt this arrangement.
