Elizabeth Schwall, a PhD candidate in Latin American and Caribbean History at Columbia University will lecture about her study explaining why in spite of longstanding economic straits, Cuba boasts a world renowned dance establishment that has played an important role within Cuban society and in Cuban international relations.
The study examines the development of Cuban dance from 1930 to 1990, particularly the connection between dance and politics over the decades and how this relationship changed over time. The lecture will begin with an overview of this larger project and then focus in on materials regarding the politics of dance patronage in the Cuban Republic.
