November Dance After watching all five segments of the November Dance, I decided to write about the second piece, which was called “Dance Dance Dance”! This was such an interesting piece! At first, when the dancers came out of the curtain onto the stage, I kept thinking “wow, I haven’t seen a presentational dance during our dance 100 class, let alone in a very long time”.

Aubrey Ways Purpose of Art Essay 11/24/12 This past weekend I went to attend the annual Black Nativity play that our school held for the theatre department. As far as art goes it didn’t so much express “African” art but more so the culture of black art and how it manifest through dancing and singing in the black community today. The Play was representative of the conquest of joseph and the Virgin Mary and the birth of Christ on Christmas day. The play was also summed up through a in play church service as the second act.
