E. MONCELL DURDEN is a dance educator, choreographer, ethnographer, embodied historian, and ethnocorporealogist. He serves as Associate Professor of Practice at the University of Southern California’s Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, where his teaching and research center on what he terms the morphology of Afro-kinetic memory – the study of how cultural identity, rhythm, and historical knowledge are retained, transmitted, and transformed through the body. Durden specializes in both practical and theoretical pedagogies that situate movement within cultural, historical, and sociopolitical frameworks. A highly sought-after instructor in the United States and abroad, he is an expert in locking, house, hip hop, authentic jazz, and Black American social party dances from 1900 to the present.
