Rejoice! Diaspora Dance Theater presents Ancestry in Motion
Rejoice! Diaspora Dance Theater is an ensemble of multi dimensional dancers and musicians under the artistic direction of Oluyinka Akinjiola. Rejoice! looks at tradition through a contemporary lens bridging our vast history with our complex present. Using folkloric movement as a basis of communication to our immediate surroundings, Rejoice! weaves stories from movements and music of the past and present to navigate through modern day issues and current topics that are steeped through generations.
Ancestry in Motion continues with Rejoice's commitment to the past and present exploring the African roots found in the dance movement of Jazz and House, and calling upon Yemaya, the deity of the ocean and motherhood, to address the continuing epidemic of police brutality.
