| Abstract | |
This work aims to examine the existing exchange between the production of American black dance and the artistic production of African-Brazilian dances, taking into consideration the production of artists from both countries who have been in contact. By examining the studies about the Black Diaspora in specific spaces and times, the author seeks to investigate how the exchange between Brazil and the US has left traces that enable the identification of mutual influences in the dance field of these two countries. The study also aims to identify the specificities within this intercultural contact. Using historical and ethnographic analysis, the study intends to evaluate how these choreographers approach concepts about African traditional forms by intentionally appropriating elements of the Brazilian popular culture and of black identity in their creations. In this research the author is also interested in understand how these artists have reinvented their choreographic practices by identifying themselves as makers of contemporary dance - based on their artistic background, professional goals, institutional links, political engagement and identity bonds.
