Conceived and performed by CJ Joseph ’25 in partial fulfillment for Honors in Theater, Dance Monkey, Dance is a performative lecture connecting fetish-like-fear political visibility to Black female performativity in modern media. The lecture is semi-immersive in the intellectual context and aims to make the audience contemplate the voyeuristic dynamics and repetitive nature between white eyes and Black female bodies. Advised by Associate Professor of Theater and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Katie Brewer Ball and Assistant Professor of Theater Katie Pearl.
