Overview of class

This course examines men dancing in diverse genres onstage and onscreen—blackface and Black minstrelsy, ballet and tap, modern and postmodern dance. The inquiry will focus on the intersection between gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and nationality in theatrical performances from the early 19th through the early 21st century. Readings will be complemented by visual documentation and by visits from guest artists.
