UMS Night School: Constructing Identity

In our ongoing Night School series, UMS explores the dynamic quality
of how human and social identities are constructed and explored in this
season’s artistic program. How do artists’ personal identities inform their
work? Do audiences’ own identities shape what they see on the stage?
UMS Night School invites participants to discover the intersections of
performance and identity in music, theater, and dance, and to meet others
who share a similar interest. The Night School curriculum will include
attendance at and discussion of Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company’s
Untitled Feminist Show & Straight White Men, Tanya Tagaq, Taylor
Mac, and Camille A. Brown & Dancers Black Girl—Linguistic Play. These
90-minute classes combine conversation, interactive exercises, and lectures
with genre experts to draw you into the themes related to identity and
performance. Drop in to just one session, or attend them all. Events are free,
and no pre-registration is required.

Tradition
Builds
the
Future

WINTER 2016

In our 137th season, we continue to showcase traditional performances
alongside contemporary artists for an offering that is unlike anything
available in the Midwest. UMS grew from a group of local members of the
University and townspeople in the 1870s who gathered together for the
study of Handel’s Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and
conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The
Choral Union. Many Choral Union members were also affiliated with the
University, and the University Musical Society was established soon after in
December 1880.
Since that first season, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the
very best from a wide spectrum of the performing arts: internationally
renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz
and global music performers, and contemporary stagework and classical
theater. Through educational programming, the commissioning of new
works, youth programs, artist residencies, and collaborative projects, we
continue to strengthen our reputation for artistic distinction and innovation.

“The arts have made a significant difference in my life and
my daughter’s life. I want every U-M student to have the
opportunity to experience the impact of the performing arts
at UMS. This is why I am offering every first and second year
student one free ticket — Bert’s Ticket — to introduce them to
a cultural experience at Michigan.”

E M I LY B AN DE RA
“One of the delights of living in Ann Arbor is the opportunity
to attend the many and varied programs brought to us by
UMS. We don't need to travel world-wide to experience these
'big city' events. I feel honored to help make this possible.”

DAL L AS AN D SH ARON DORT
“It could almost be said that we chose to move to Ann Arbor
post-career because of UMS. Who wouldn’t want to live in a
city that can attract such talent, and fill a 3,500-seat hall with
so many enthusiastic audiences? Now, we enjoy each season
all the more because, as donors, we’re an active part of UMS.
What a privilege!”

STE VE AN D ROS FORREST
“As students, we benefited from low-cost student tickets,
fostering a lifelong love of the performing arts. Our donation
will help to ensure that affordable tickets will be available to
today's students.”

a signature of Camille A. Brown & Dancers performance experience that
provides an opportunity for open discussion between the artists and audience

CHOREOGRAPHER’S NOTE
BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play
celebrates the unspoken rhythm
and language that Black girls have
through Double Dutch, social dances,
and hand-clapping games that are
contemporary and ancestral.
As I began to create the work, I
realized that I was exhausted by
stereotypes and tropes because, as a
Black female director, I battle with
them daily.
Kyra Gaunt’s book, The Games
Black Girls Play, inspired the
concept for the work. The word
“play” immediately shot out. I started
thinking about my childhood and the
many games I used to play — Double
Dutch, Red light/Green light, Marco
Polo — and how it was hard for me to
find narratives within the media that
showcased Black girls being just that:
girls. This instantly resonated and
became personal. Who was I before
the world defined me? What are the
unspoken languages within Black girl
culture that are multi-dimensional
and have been appropriated and
compartmentalized by others? What
are the dimensions of Black girl joy
that cannot be boxed into a smile or a
grimace, but demonstrated in a head
tilt, lip smack, hand gesture, and more?

BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play
showcases and elevates the rhythms
and gestures of childhood play,
highlights the musical complexity
and composition, and claims them as
art. It shows the power of sisterhood
and the fact that, as we mature, Black
girls still play. It is remembering,
conjuring, honoring, and healing. It’s
a Black girl’s story through her gaze.
This work is a gift to myself and Black
girls everywhere.
If our audiences see parts of
themselves in our work — their
struggles and their joys —
regardless of their color, gender, or
socioeconomic background, then I
know we have done our job.
Let’s play!
—Camille A. Brown

REFERENCES AND RESOURCE GUIDE
Social Dances
Camille A. Brown’s BLACK GIRL:
Linguistic Play draws from dance,
music, and hand game traditions of
West and Sub-Saharan African cultures
as filtered through generations of the
African-American experience. The
result is a depiction of the complexities
in carving out a positive identity as a
black female in today’s urban America.
The core of this multimedia work is
a unique blend of body percussion,
rhythmic play, gesture, and selfexpression that creates its own lexicon.
The etymology of her linguistic
play can be traced from pattin’ Juba,
buck and wing, social dances, and
other percussive corollaries of the
African drum found on this side of
the Atlantic, all the way to jumping
double dutch, and dancing The Dougie.
Brown uses the rhythmic play of this
African-American dance vernacular
as the black woman’s domain to evoke
childhood memories of self-discovery.
Hambone, hambone, where you been?
Around the world and back again
Let’s use the hambone lyric as
a metaphor for what happened
culturally to song and dance forms
developed in African-American
enclaves during the antebellum era.
The hambone, salvaged from the big
house meal, made its way to cabins
and quarters of enslaved Africans,
depositing and transporting flavors
from soup pot to soup pot, family to
family, generation to generation, and
providing nourishment for the soul
and for the struggle. When dancing
and drumming were progressively
banned during the 18th century,
8

black people used their creativity and
inventiveness to employ their bodies
as a beatbox for song and dance. In
the Americas, this music helped them
connect with their homeland and
keep cultural traditions alive. It was
termed “patting Juba.”
Juba contained features that persist
in African-American dances, notably
improvisation, shuffle steps, supple
body movements, and sharp rhythms.
Skill and dexterity ruled the day in
performing and developing artisans in
this new genre. “Patting Juba” means
slapping the hands, legs, and body to
produce complex, rapid rhythms. The
dance has survived the plantations
and social dance circles and made
its way onto the platforms of dance
halls and palaces. These movement
elements served as the phonemes of
a dance vocabulary that persists over
two centuries later.
By 1845, William Henry Lane, a
free black man born in Rhode Island,
had become most prolific in Juba and
gained unimaginable national and
international recognition as a master
of the form. Often billed as “Master
Juba,” he danced an amalgam of the
jig, Juba, clog, buck, long dog scratch,
and wing dances, taking this AfricanAmerican dance “around the world
and back again.”
The wobbly legs of buck dancing,
the flighty limbs of the wing step,
and the staccato quick feet of the jig
served as the morphemes for popular
social dances throughout the 20th
century. Metal scraps were nailed to
shoe bottoms and morphed into the
theatrical tap dance form we know
today. One can draw a through-line

from Juba to the Charleston and
Black Bottom of the 1920s to the
Funky Chicken of the 1960s, the
Kid’n Play of the 1980s, and to the
Bop and DLow Shuffle of the 21st
century. The vernacular of these early
social dances began to spread from
dirt floors to dance halls and beyond.
In fact, a long-limbed street dancer
turned chorus girl named Josephine
Baker exported the dances to France
and all around Europe, achieving
great notoriety.
Social dancing through the decades
The Great Migration helped transport
these social dances out of the South
and into Northeast and Midwestern
cities as blacks headed to industrial
centers in search of jobs and new
beginnings. Each region developed
idiosyncratic constructs of popular
dances of the day. New York City
was the cauldron of creativity and
Harlem was its flame. The Savoy
Ballroom in Harlem billed itself
as the “Home of Happy Feet.” It
was there that a new migration
occurred; whites headed uptown to be
entertained and dance to the big band
orchestras of Chick Webb and Benny
Goodman side by side with AfricanAmericans. Dancers extraordinaire
Norma Miller, Frankie Manning,
and “Shorty George” Snowden
incorporated the syncopation of tap
and the improvisation of jazz into
the Lindy Hop and jitterbug steps
that developed in tandem with the
explosion of artistic expression of the
Harlem Renaissance.
Social dance during the Civil Rights
and Black Power movements started
to prominently reflect the times.
Dances with African names like the

Watusi and the Boogaloo mirrored
and proclaimed the African pride
and heritage of American blacks. The
frenetic and frenzied dances of the
1960s including The Jerk, The Twist,
and The Monkey paralleled the social
and political turmoil the US was
experiencing.
Have you ever attended a family
cookout/wedding/pool party/social
event with multiple generations
present? Grandpop and Nana, Aunt
Denise and cousin Deion, you, your
cousins were just chillin’, and a really
good song played on the Victrola/
radio/8-track player/boom box/MP3
player. In an instant everyone is up
on the dance floor, checking out each
other’s moves. It is a battle of oldschool vs new-school terpsichorean
feats/feets, and the conversations
go something like: “Look, those kids
aren’t doing anything new. Back in the
day we called that move the (…)” and,
“Oh wow, look at Nana and Grandpop
trying to do the (…), I wonder where
they learned that?” As the saying
goes, sooner or later, everything old is
new again.
These days a quick tutorial on the
foot patterns of the Funky Chicken
or the ankle alignment of the Mashed
Potatoes can be found on YouTube.
The video-sharing website now
supplements and supplants the social
forums that African-Americans
traditionally used to create and learn
dances. Anyone can view, teach, and
try any dance from any decade with
just a few clicks of a mouse. Watch
“Soul Brother #1” James Brown break
down the hippest dances of the 1970s.
And if you think Michael Jackson
invented the moonwalk, YouTube
shows you all the entertainers
9

who did that slick backwards glide
decades before the King of Pop.
Looking back, jumping ahead, and
stepping forward
In addition to popular dance, another
form of linguistic play influenced
the rhythmical education of the
urban black girl. Two friends, a long
clothesline, telephone cable, or jump
rope were all that was needed for the
fun pastime of double dutch. You have
to pound the pavement for hours,
and in many cases years, to earn
your stripes in the playground or city
sidewalks. Listen to the click-clack
of the ropes, absorb the rhythm into
your body, time the loop and swoop,
and jump in! Rope jumpers sprinkle
hand games, chants, and acrobatics
into the milliseconds between the
beat and devote vast amounts of time
perfecting routines alone or with a
partner. Black girls start sharpening
their corporeal coordination at an
early age and begin to incorporate
complex steps, patterns, and speeds
into the aerobic game-sport-dance as
they advance. Michelle Obama honed
her skills on the streets of Chicago
and demonstrated her jumping
prowess on national TV and in China.
Double dutch contests and competitions are now found worldwide
and are featured on ESPN2. Each
December, Harlem’s Apollo Theater
hosts an international showdown
(Japan has amazing contenders), and
in 2008, New York City public schools
began offering double dutch as a
varsity league activity — proving very
popular with predominantly AfricanAmerican high schools. Movies like
Doubletime and Jump In! spotlight
the focus and determination required
10

for competition-level jumping, and
the pride (and bragging rights) that
accompany the fun.
The animated and vibrant “step”
dances performed by sororities and
fraternities are superb examples
of the body linguistics Camille A.
Brown plays with in her work. The
percussive, stylized, and coordinated
group dances that feature chants
and shouts bring together African
song and dance traditions mixed
with ring shouts, Juba, military
precision, Motown, and modern Greek
culture. By the 1970’s, “stepping”
gained popularity due to widespread
demonstrations on college campuses.
Today, film also provides windows
into the African-American dance
traditions found in the Black Greeklettered organizations established
at historically Black colleges and
universities. Spike Lee’s School Daze
and Sylvain White’s Stomp the Yard
are two films that helped expand the
influence and popularity of the form.
Stepping is no longer just a “Greek
thing,” it has transcended race and
can be found outside the AfricanAmerican fraternal community.
BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play
embodies all of these movement
languages that have been rooted
in African-American culture and
tradition. What influences have
shaped your own linguistic play?
