A choreopoem is a work that combines
dance
and
poetry
so that each complements the other in a highly dramatic way. The term first appeared in a work called
for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf
: a choreopoem
, by
Ntozake Shange
, an
African-American
woman. Shange, (
Paulette Williams
was her birth name), wanted to create a new art form that was different from traditional western (and white) poetry. So, while working with young black girls, she developed the form, which doesn't contain traditional elements of
plot
and characters, it instead focuses on creating an emotional response within the
audience
