My dissertation, The Village on the Stage: Dramaturgies of Modernity in African Concert Dance, analyzes the underlying theatrical logic in African concert dance through a dramaturgical model I call the village on the stage. The village on the stage dramaturgy has had multiple iterations over the 20th and 21st centuries both across the African continent and the African diaspora. Commonly presented within the world-dance market as neo-traditional African dance, the village on the stage refers to a set of practices of staging traditional dance and music of Africa and the African diaspora and serves as a platform on which Pan-Africanism, colonialism, post-colonialism, and anti- and de- coloniality can be witnessed and explored. Through a dramaturgical methodology that attends to the processes that transform ideas and cultural and political imperatives into theatrical practice and reads choreography as a statement of embodied ideas, this project explores multiple iterations of the village on the stage to show how modernity is renegotiated in relation to the idea of 'Africa' by African dance theatre artists. Whether the term village on the stage is employed directly to describe the mise-en-scene of a theatrical production or as a generic description of African dance in recital format, as a dramaturgical strategy, the transformation of complex 'traditional' performances into neo-traditional dances within a western-style performance orientation functions as a conceptual apparatus that continues to operate even when the narrative/discourse of tradition drops out. The thesis explores how the trope of the village continues to haunt and inspire the artistic production of contemporary African dance and theatre artists.

520 $a Ma these, Le village sur la scene : Dramaturgies de la modernite dans la danse de concert africaine, analyse la logique theatrale sous-jacente de la danse de concert africaine a travers un modele dramaturgique que j'appelle le village sur la scene. La dramaturgie du village sur la scene a connu de multiples iterations au cours des XXe et XXIe siecles, tant sur le continent africain que dans la diaspora africaine. Communement presente sur le marche mondial de la danse comme une danse africaine neo-traditionnelle, le village sur scene fait reference a un ensemble de pratiques de mise en scene de la danse et de la musique traditionnelles d'Afrique et de la diaspora africaine et sert de plateforme sur laquelle le panafricanisme, le colonialisme, le post-colonialisme, l'anti- et la de-colonialite peuvent etre observes et explores. Grace a une methodologie dramaturgique qui s'interesse aux processus qui transforment les idees et les imperatifs culturels et politiques en pratique theatrale et qui lit la choregraphie comme une declaration d'idees incarnees, ce projet explore de multiples iterations du village sur scene pour montrer comment la modernite est renegociee par rapport a l'idee d'"Afrique" par les artistes africains de la danse-theatre. Que le terme "village sur scene" soit employe directement pour decrire la mise en scene d'une production theatrale ou comme description generique de la danse africaine sous forme de recital, en tant que strategie dramaturgique, la transformation de performances "traditionnelles" complexes en danses neo-traditionnelles dans le cadre d'une orientation de performance de style occidental fonctionne comme un appareil conceptuel qui continue a fonctionner meme lorsque le recit/discours de la tradition disparait. La these explore la maniere dont le trope du village continue de hanter et d'inspirer la production artistique des artistes de danse et de theatre africains contemporains.
