KaJe Movement Collective: ÌYÁguration
Founded by Kara Jenelle Wade, M.F.A., KaJe Movement Collective is a performance ensemble of radiant artistic Sistas embodying cultural legacy, creativity, and powerful presence. Rooted in rhythms of the African diaspora, social dance, and contemporary expression, the company integrates spoken word, musical composition, and cinematic visuals to evoke, educate, and represent their culture as members of the global majority. Their choreographies honor the impact of Black histories, the vibrancy of Black joy, and the urgency of liberation.
ÌYÁguration is a live performance and ceremonial work adapted from Wade’s original dance film, celebrating the resilience, joy, and sisterhood of Black women across the diaspora. Blending storytelling, rhythm, and ancestral memory, this work is a journey exploring the call of the djembe, sacred hymns, coiled crowns, and movement practices 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.
