Discussion Prompt
In one paragraph, synthesize the ideas about leadership in the dances you watched and the websites you observed. Formulate your own view of how dance and leadership connect together. When you make your connections explain whether you now have a renewed understanding of dance itself or what the possibilities for dance are at this point in time. Use examples from your viewing and/or personal experience to support your idea.
In another paragraph, respond to the three dances you watched: Kylian’s Falling Angels; Dunham’s Shango and another dance of your choice on the Dance Black America film. Discuss how you saw leadership and dance in action. Don’t forget to describe the movements of the body, costumes, sets, lighting, and music and how these all played a part in your viewing of these works.
