Introduction to Post-Colonial African and African Diasporic Theatre

This class will explore plays/theatrical works and ideologies of a selected group of playwrights from Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States. Exploring Culture, Creativity and Theatre practices, the course will focus on the ways in which these artists have syncretically responded to varied forms of colonization and creolization. This class will also pay attention to the Post Colonial Social and historical context that continues to impact and influence these modes of artistic production.
