  • After a brief rest, they did another sequence of group figures at slow and fast pace, followed by individual display. . . .

  • Although a performance of Agbekor follows a definite pattern, it is not rigidly formalized.



Answer to Question 2

 Relatively few villages have preserved their heritage of Agbekor . . . rather it is being carried on by drum and dance societies of several types: mutual aid organizations, school and civic youth groups, and theatrical performing companies.
