The Routledge Companion to African American Theatre and Performance
is an outstanding collection of specially written essays that
charts the emergence, development, and diversity of African
American Theatre and Performance-from the nineteenth-century
African Grove Theatre to Afrofuturism. Alongside chapters from
scholars are contributions from theatre makers, including
producers, theatre managers, choreographers, directors, designers,
and critics. This ambitious Companion includes: A "Timeline of
African American theatre and performance." Part I "Seeing ourselves
onstage" explores the important experience of Black theatrical
self-representation. Analyses of diverse topics including
historical dramas, Broadway musicals, and experimental theatre
allow readers to discover expansive articulations of Blackness.
Part II "Institution building" highlights institutions that have
nurtured Black people both on stage and behind the scenes. Topics
include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs),
festivals, and black actor training. Part III "Theatre and social
change" surveys key moments when Black people harnessed the power
of theatre to affirm community realities and posit new
representations for themselves and the nation as a whole. Topics
include Du Bois and African Muslims, women of the Black Arts
Movement, Afro-Latinx theatre, youth theatre, and operatic
sustenance for an Afro future. Part IV "Expanding the traditional
stage" examines Black performance traditions that privilege Black
worldviews, sense-making, rituals, and innovation in everyday life.
This section explores performances that prefer the space of the
kitchen, classroom, club, or field. This book engages a wide
audience of scholars, students, and theatre practitioners with its
unprecedented breadth. More than anything, these invaluable
insights not only offer a window onto the processes of producing
work, but also the labour and economic issues that have shaped and
enabled African American theatre.
