This work will examine black love: its perceptions and understanding, through various sociological research and physical manifestations that will culminate in a dance performance. This examination of the evolution of black love through time will be researched in multiple mediums including writings, studies, and media usage personification and internalization. All sources will look at the critical evaluation of love in a cultural context, such as Bell Hooks "Black People and Love", popular musical artists such as Beyoncé and Jay Z, and many others. The performance will illustrate the physicality of black love with cultural references as it is perceived and felt.
