How are Black artists, activists, and pedagogues wielding acts of
rebellion, activism, and solidarity to precipitate change? How have
contemporary performances impacted Black cultural, social, and
political struggles? What are the ways in which these acts and
artists engage varied Black identities and explore shared
histories? Contemporary Black Theatre and Performance investigates
these questions to illuminate the relationship between performance,
identity, intersectionality, and activism in North America and
beyond. It features contributions from scholars, artists, and
activists from across disciplines who explore the nuances and
varied forms of Black performance in the 21st century while
incorporating performance-based methodologies and queer and black
feminist theories. Among the many topics addressed by contributors
are antiracist pedagogy, Black queer identity formation in Black
playwriting, digital blackface, and Black women's subversive
practices within contemporary popular culture. It encompasses
dramatic analysis of Lynn Nottage's Sweat, Tarell Alvin McCraney's
Choir Boy, and acts of resistance during the Black Lives Matter
summer 2020 highway protests. A series of conversations with
artists and scholars are woven throughout the book’s three
sections, including with playwrights Christina Anderson and Donja
R. Love, and Willa Taylor, Director of Education and Community
Engagement at the Goodman Theatre, Chicago.
