Black British Dance and Performance: Impact, Voice and Gaze Georgina Payne
Black British Dance and Performance: Impact, Voice and Gaze, an eight-week online course that will examine and explore Black dance from a British perspective, provided by Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage. The course aims to further participants’ knowledge of how language, terminology and representation within the media and cultural practice affect the artistic and sociopolitical landscape within the UK and internationally; also to explore funding bodies, legislations and policies that come into play as an artist who creates culturally diverse work and develops audiences. Over the years Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage has been at the forefront of learning and is proud to collaborate with educators at schools, colleges and universities to offer a range of training and meaningful engagements around Black dance and heritage from the African, African Caribbean and LatinX community where it meets Diaspora, and this online course is no exception. Serendipity has crafted a dedicated platform that will enhance your overall learning experience throughout this course. You will receive over 180 hours of taught sessions, a reading list, access to creative films, a handbook for further reading, and links to subject areas.

Each week has several modules, and participants are required to engage in various self-directed learning tasks that will need to be completed to progress through the course. Course tasks will consist of writing, researching, engaging in discussions, going to see a performance in mainstream and non-mainstream venues, to creating your piece of work that will be shared during the final week of the course.
