Panel: Black Dance Artists on Masculinity

In this panel, Black dance artists examine how the dancing body can perform conventional or expanded ideas about masculinity and masculine energy. What has dance—and the stark, binary roles present in many dance forms—taught us about being men…and, in particular, Black men?

Moderator: J. Bouey
Panelists: Du’Bois A’Keen, Thomas F. DeFrantz, Orlando Hunter, Jr., Ricarrdo Valentine
