dc.description.abstractThe consciousness and need to archive Nigerian autochthonous culture, particularly dance in the emerging technologically driven global sphere, has attracted massive dimensions and pre-emptive measures. Some of these measures have proved abortive while others have in their state of practicality led to the development of culture adulteration and multiplicity. In the same vein, beyond the scope of preservation, many short clips of Nigerian dances are captured via different audiovisual recording devices and then uploaded on the net. All these have a reprisal impact on aspects of the culture it seeks to promote, propagate, and preserve. To this end, this study evaluates Nigerian dance and technology from two broad perspectives; it assays the use of technology in the creation, documentation, and diffusion of Nigerian cultural ingenuity – dance. It also weighs the impact of technology on the acquisition of Nigeria’s dance culture through the “garbage-in-garbage-out” systemic principles that describe “technology”. The study is appraised within the framework of technological determinism, cultural relativism, and descriptive methodology. The paper concludes that although technology may function as a viable alternative for the preservation and projection of Nigerian dance, its efficacy is determined by the originality and extent of the contents stored on the different forms of technological models.en_US
