ART 0241 AFRICAN ART: RITUAL, PERFORMANCE, AND THEATRE (3)

Here, we will discover that 'ritual' is not always cosmic or spiritual, but sometimes involves the intimate activity of body decoration, or hairstyling; that 'performances' are a daily, central aspect of most black communities-that distinctly theatric elements of social performance are not only a part of masquerades, but also seen in traditional wrestling matches (and body design), ritual seclusion and fattening, and religious (or funerary) processions.
