KaJe Movement Collective: ÌYÁguration
ÌYÁguration is a live performance and ceremonial work adapted from KJ’s original dance film, celebrating the resilience, joy, and sisterhood of Black women across the diaspora. Blending storytelling, rhythm, and ancestral memory, this piece moves through percussive djembe, sacred songs, coiled crowns, and choreographies from West Africa to the Americas. Standing on the shoulders of the great mothers that came before us, KaJe Movement Collective ignites stages worldwide—dancing abundantly, unapologetically, and freely in the spirit.
