This study examines aesthetics and representation in a type of contemporary African-based concert dance for which I formulate the term "neo-Afro modern dance." The neo-Afro modern dance fuses African and/or African-American cultural values, movements, and aesthetics with North American modern and postmodern dance structures and ideals. It also reflects a distinct aesthetic, philosophical, and ideological approach to late twentieth-century dance as art. The articulation of an aesthetics and representation relationship refers to its historical socio-political agency in black cultural production and its significance in the survival and resistance of people of the African diaspora. This notion functions as an underlying framework for examining contemporary connections between black aesthetic principles and representations of culture as well as somatic and social identity (i.e., gender and sexuality) in the neo-Afro modern dance. I utilize the biographies and performance philosophies of Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Ronald K. Brown, and Reggie Wilson and close readings of selected works by them as case studies in my conceptualization of the neo-Afro modern dance.

520 $a This study examines aesthetics and representation in a type of contemporary African-based concert dance for which I formulate the term "neo-Afro modern dance." The neo-Afro modern dance fuses African and/or African-American cultural values, movements, and aesthetics with North American modern and postmodern dance structures and ideals. It also reflects a distinct aesthetic, philosophical, and ideological approach to late twentieth-century dance as art. The articulation of an aesthetics and representation relationship refers to its historical socio-political agency in black cultural production and its significance in the survival and resistance of people of the African diaspora. This notion functions as an underlying framework for examining contemporary connections between black aesthetic principles and representations of culture as well as somatic and social identity (i.e., gender and sexuality) in the neo-Afro modern dance. I utilize the biographies and performance philosophies of Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Ronald K. Brown, and Reggie Wilson and close readings of selected works by them as case studies in my conceptualization of the neo-Afro modern dance.
520 $a The central research questions this study poses and attempts to answer are: (a) what does the neo-Afro modern dance represent as both an artistic endeavor and a socio-cultural phenomenon within the context of late 20 th-century performance and thought; and (b) how do individual creative choices and modes of representation embody this approach within the context of black dance and culture?
520 $a The central objective of the study is to theorize and historicize a conceptualization of aesthetics and representation in the neo-Afro modern dance and focus on individual ways of making meaning and the choreographers' creative/subjective relationships with culture and representation. This also entails exploring issues of the body, identity, culture, ideology, style, and meaning as contexts in which aesthetics and representation are discussed. I submit that the study of this trope may prove valuable in expanding our understanding of contemporary Africanist and black performance. Also, this mode of analysis may help to broaden possibilities for philosophical discourses in dance and cultural studies analysis.
