Abstract: Dance drama, as one of the oldest art forms, is always appreciated due to its richaesthetic values. This work is set to analyze and evaluate the aesthetic values associated withdance drama. One of the entertainment genres, dance drama, has provided prerequisite aestheticpleasures to the audience over time. We Are Rivers is one of the performances that popularizesthe creative presence and chronicles issues and activities of Rivers State from the pre-colonial,colonial, and post-colonial eras. The cardinal aim of this paper is to examine the aestheticvalues, such as gestures, dance steps, costumes, body movements, and symbols, amongst others,that characterized the dance drama. Dance drama does not only provide entertainment andrelaxation to the audience alone; it engages in communicating ideas and emotions and feelingsas well as documenting and presenting historical activities. This is quite evident in Julie Okoh’sWe Are Rivers. The work employs Rudolf Laban’s dance theory as a roadmap of criticalanalysis of the topic under examination. The modest recommendation of this paper is thatplaywrights and institutions of arts and culture should write and present dance dramaperformances to the audience, as it goes a long way in reviving the dance dramatic genre as oneof the vibrant art forms. This unique art form, when sufficiently explored, becomes a vibrantvehicle for entertainment, information, and education for society.
