Yesterday, artist and researcher Funmi Adewolle Elliott, who is teaching classes for Academy students this week, gave a presentation to students in the Master’s program in Dramatic Writing at UNATC about her experience in choreographic dramaturgy.
In her introduction, she spoke about the intersectional approach between dramatic writing and choreographic composition, based on areas of research such as discourse theory/communication philosophy, cultural studies, and performance studies.
She then presented three contemporary artists of African origin through a brief analysis of one of their plays, on which Funmi collaborated.
Thanks to UNATC and Mihaela Michailov for hosting and facilitating the meeting with the students!
