520 $a This dissertation is a historical biography and contributions of the life works of Charles Holsten Williams, (1886 to 1978), as Departmental Chair of Physical Education and founder of the Hampton Institute Creative Dance Group. The main focus will be to highlight his pioneering efforts in establishing the Creative Dance Group and their use of African diasporic dance in modern choreography. It will seek to establish how Charles H. Williams' contributions to dance were fundamental in shaping the face of modern dance today.
520 $a The use of African diasporic material and its predominance in modern dance has not been given sufficient scholarly attention. Charles H. Williams' modern dance program at Hampton Institute instituted in 1934 was innovative in its implementation of cultural and spiritual themes in the modern dance genre. The Creative Dance Group's use of Haitian and African religious dance forms, as well as Negro spirituals and work songs, have never been fully recognized by scholars. The research will document the Hampton Institute Creative Dance Group's unprecedented performances, in both the modern dance arena and university setting, of African and Afro-Caribbean derived material throughout the United States.
520 $a The Hampton Institute Creative Dance Group, under the direction of Charles H. Williams, and their formalized use of African and Haitian dance forms in choreography, have historically impacted the focus of future modern choreography. They deserve to be fully credited and given recognition for their contributions to dance.
