Ja’Moon Jones works through dance and multidisciplinary collaboration to build immersive worlds that examine spiritual displacement and diasporic identity. As a child of the African diaspora, he inherits fragmented and obscured histories, and his artistic pr actice functions as a ritual of recall. His work seeks to recover and preserve histories, cultural memory, and ways of knowing erased or excluded from dominant understandings of Black American life. Centering radical embodiment, oral storytelling, and immersive scenic design, Ja’Moon translates arcane wisdom cultivated through his engagement with stewards of African and diasporic ancestral traditions.
MudMothers: Memory in and of the Wake exists within the haptic—an immersive realm shaped by tactile imagination, texture, and breath. It calls audiences into a living landscape built from sensorial memory, transporting them into a world parallel to our own, intimate and vibrating with elemental life.
Performance Dates: December 18, and 19, 2026
