Cariactureography: Storytelling in dance - Not Without Right: Shakespeare in the Public Domain ep6

Join host Dawn Monique Williams for another episode of Not Without Right: A Shakespeare in the Public Domain podcast. This week on the pod is Dr. Ayo Walker. Dr. Walker is a Professor of Critical Dance Studies in the School of Theatre and Dance at Columbia College Chicago. As a Performance Studies Practitioner, Choreographer, Dancer, and African American Studies Educator, she positions her work in the field of Dance and Performance Studies within three specific interdisciplinary and generative frameworks. Research-to-Performance, Practice-Based, and Practice-Led. "Through my research, creative work, and pedagogy, I urge the much-needed cultivation of a comprehensive cultural dance literacy beyond the dominant Eurocentric perspective in the United States." To this end, Dr. Walker has published two manuscripts, "Rebalancing dance curricula through repurposing Black dance aesthetics" and "Traditional White Spaces Why All-Inclusive Representation Matters," and developed three original paradigms: Entercultural Engaged Pedagogy (EEP), Cariactureography, and Decolonization of the Dancing Body.Dr. Walker received her BA from San Diego State University, an MA in Dance and Higher Education from NYU Steinhardt, and a PhD in Performance Studies with a Designated Emphasis in African American and African Studies from UC Davis.For bonus content, consider a paid subscription to the Blackfuturist Shakespearean https://substack.com/@dawnmoniquewilliams
