Staging the Nation: Authenticity, Authentication, and Authority in the Ghana Dance Ensemble
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 January 2013
Abstract
This paper will explore the migration of local and global markers of authority as members of the Ghana Dance Ensemble (GDE) negotiate the ideologies of nationalism, attempting to re/create cultural forms that will be judged “authentic” by both indigenous and international communities. This will include examining how Western and local practices have merged to re/establish power relationships between choreographers and performers as they work to devise strategies that give an aura of authenticity to various dance forms.
