360° (2021)
360° is a homage to the ancestral memories and rich heritage of African Diasporic dance forms. Rooted in the symbolism of the Circle, the Cypher, and the principles of Supreme Mathematics, this work honors the drum as the living pulse that connects us all together in this work. Through dance, music, and song, it creates a sacred space for liberation, trance, and collective communication. Embodying core values of knowledge, peace, unity, wisdom and love, 360° invites audiences to witness a dynamic evolution.
We hold the memories that come before us.
We recognize the drum as the heartbeat.
We allow space for liberation and trance.
We communicate through dance, music, and song.
We honor African Diasporic dance forms.
We acknowledge the history and the evolution.
We embody the core values of knowledge, peace, unity, and love.
Jacob’s Pillow Community Day
My piece 360° was selected to be showcased on the Inside/Out stage at Jacob’s Pillow for Community Day. This invitation was a meaningful opportunity to share the work in a scenic outdoor environment that celebrates community, culture, and connection. Presenting 360° at this historic venue allowed me to honor the roots and evolution of the movement while engaging a broad audience in the spirit of joy.
