When, Where, and How We Enter: Early Black Feminist Ruminations on Black Dramaturgies
2024
Overview
The panel aimed both to situate the event as a mechanism for adding dimension to the exploration of dramaturgy and cultural practice and to prompt new discussions that might bring depth and light to the national conversation on race.' Despite the proliferation of practicing Black dramaturgs and theories regarding Black theatre and performance, there has yet to be a study dedicated to the practice of Black dramaturgy-that is, a dramaturgical framework that shapes and is shaped by the perspectives drawn from Black theory and Black life and living. For Du Bois, theatre has the capacity to imbue Black communities with social and political power and can serve as a corrective to the harm perpetuated by systems of white supremacy, racism, and anti-Blackness. Ndounou refers to this practice as \"dramaturgical meritocracy,\" which involves valuing the creative labors of \"neglected peoples\" through using theatre and dramaturgy as a way to advocate for social and political rights, equity, and justice.!® Coopers essay \"The Negro' Dialect\" (ca. 1930), for instance, presents dramaturgical analysis for consideration.
