Note

1. "In this paper, I examine the African American presence in postmodern dance. The "presence" is defined as: (a) the somatic and intellectual agency of black choreographers (e.g., Gus Solomons, Jr., Bill T. Jones, Blondell Cummings, and others), and (b) the increasingly visible influence of African American cultural and artistic expressions derived from American popular culture. My discussion begins by outlining ideological and aesthetic contrasts between the early white-led postmodern dance movement and various aspects of black modern dance in the 1960s. I then focus on how the above-mentioned choreographers have responded artistically and personally to social and artistic changes. And lastly, I address key issues concerning the syncretistic nature of the black-white interplay in postmodern dance."--p. 234
