Dance does more than delight the eye with feats of grace and athleticism. It teaches, transmitting a culture’s values, stories and traditions.
This spring, Visiting Assistant Professor of Theatre and Africana StudiesSamuel Eliakem Kwame Nyamuame will return to his native country of Ghana to study traditional festival dances with Sylvanus Kwashie Kuwor, chair of the Department of Dance Studies at the University of Ghana’s School of Performing Arts in Accra-Legon. Then, the two scholars will develop a new curriculum for the University of Ghana’s graduate program in dance.
