Ubuntu as Dance Pedagogy in Uganda (eBook, PDF)

Individuality, Community, and Inclusion in Teaching and Learning of Indigenous Dances

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book locates the philosophy of Ubuntu as the undergirding framework for indigenous dance pedagogies in local communities in Uganda. Through critical examination of the reflections and practices of selected local dance teachers, the volume reveals how issues of inclusion, belonging, and agency are negotiated through a creatively complex interplay between individuality and communality. The analysis frames pedagogies as sites where reflective thought and kinaesthetic practice converge to facilitate ever-evolving individual imagination and community innovations.
