    WINTER 2021 PERFORMANCE STUDIES COURSE LISTINGS College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) Undergraduate Level (100-400) Issues in African Studies - Symbolic Language and Communications in West African Visual and Performing Arts (​AAS 206, 3 credits) Kwasi Ampene Survey of African American Cinema (AAS 232, 3 credits) Scott Poulson-Bryant This course examines the history and aesthetics of African American filmmaking from the silent era to the present. Films are analyzed within their socio-cultural contexts, with particular attention to how race and identity interact with class, gender, and sexuality. We consider the link between film and other forms of Black popular culture. Threads: What Does Clothing Have to Do with Race, Culture, Politics, and the Environment? (AAS 317, 3 credits) Megan Sweeney As our readings and discussions will highlight, clothing signals individuality and social legibility. It's a necessity and a privilege, protective and decorative, utilitarian and the stuff of consuming artistic passion. Clothes manage anxieties and create them, serve as armor and sometimes as sword. They reconcile and multiply our various selves. Clothing is a domain of the deadly serious and a domain of the lighthearted. So, put on your favorite outfit and get ready to think, read, write, and collaborate! Topics in Black World Studies - Hip Hop Africa ​(​AAS 358.007, 3 credits) Kwasi Ampene The seminar will offer students an ethnomusicological perspective on performing arts and power in Sub-Saharan Africa. We shall investigate musical performances as modes of resistance, a means for negotiating power, establishing social identity, providing agency and empowerment, and as a means for constructing gender spaces.

  • New Studio on Broadway: Music Theatre and Acting
    ® ® 2019 CELEBRATING JIMMY NEDERLANDER James M. Nederlander or “Jimmy,” Chairman of The Nederlander Organization, was the visionary theatrical impresario who built one of the largest private live entertainment companies in the world known for producing and presenting world-class entertainment since 1912. Jimmy started working in the theatre at age 7 sweeping floors for his father, David Tobias (D.T.) Nederlander, in Detroit, Michigan. During a career that spanned over 70 years, Jimmy amassed a network of premier legitimate theatres including nine on Broadway: the Brooks Atkinson, Gershwin, Lunt-Fontanne, Marquis, Minskoff, Nederlander, Neil Simon, Richard Rodgers, and the world famous Palace; in Los Angeles: The Pantages; in London: the Adelphi, Aldwych, and Dominion; and in Chicago: the Auditorium, Broadway Playhouse, Cadillac Palace, and CIBC Theatres, and the Oriental Theatre which this year was renamed the James M. Nederlander Theatre in Jimmy’s honor. He produced over one hundred acclaimed Broadway musicals and plays including Annie, Applause, La Cage aux Folles, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Me and My Girl, Nine, Noises Off, Peter Pan, Sweet Charity, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby, The Will Rogers Follies, Woman of the Year, and many more. “Generous,” “loyal” and “trusted” are just a few of the accolades his friends use to describe him. Jimmy was beloved by the industry and the recipient of many distinguished honors including an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Connecticut (2014), the Exploring the Arts Foundation Award (2014), the United Nations Foundation Champion Award (2012), The Broadway League’s Schoenfeld Vision for Arts Education Award (2011), the New York Pop’s Man of the Year (2008), and the special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement (2004).
