Writing Assignment #3 Prompt: Susan Manning argues that segregated and integrated seating at performances between 1930 and 1970 influenced spectatorship and cross-viewing in relation to the dancing body. According to Manning, how did spectatorship and cross-viewing influence how the dancing body was “read” or understood as racially marked and unmarked?

Reading: Susan Manning, Preface and Introduction, Modern Dance, Negro Dance: Race in Motion

Notes: (what I was told about the last writing that I need to fix)

Footnote goes after the period at the end of the sentence.

Instead of using passive voice, try using active voice. For example, your introductory sentence can be re-written to read: “Black performance theory is an extensive multidisciplinary field of research and critical methodology.” Try not to use passive voice and instead use active voice. For example, you could change your first sentence to: “Black performance theory is a large, multidisciplinary field of research and critical method.”

Writing Guidelines (very important):

Write a one-page analysis
Use 2 quotes and 2 footnotes
Write using an academic/formal tone: must be a scholarly writing assignments
Use specific examples(multiple) in readings to support your analysis
Times New Roman Script 12 point font
