Breaks, Rhyme & Reason: Coolness in Theatre of the African Diaspora with NSangou Njikam
NSangou Njikam (Syncing Ink, A Freeky Introduction, When We Left) has applied the aesthetics of West and Central African performance to his work since 2001. Through an understanding of "Coolness" as a state of Balance and harmony, Njikam finds new and exciting approaches to the art of storytelling, playwriting, and character development. In this course, you'll be introduced to the understanding of Coolness from this perspective, as you create short scenes, characters, as well as engage in games designed to make the creation process enjoyable, light, and effective. The class meets in four 2-hour sessions virtually. By the end, the goal is for participants to have a new or renewed sense of "rhyme and reason" for their own creative works and journeys.
