The Journeymen

We are the custodians of this land... The Series explores themes of home, family, and Rites of Passage. Each lineage carries its own power. Each light multiplied. Each shade of melanin is filled with collective history. Together they stand as the sum of their ancestors’ hopes, worries, and dreams of living radically. “Subliminal seduction” Dance keeps a culture of a people alive by sharing and teaching younger generations the dances. Dance keeps the history of people live as well. Dances are performed for Community Celebrations, Births, Deaths, and Rites of Passage. In African societies, dance serves a complex diversity of social purposes. Within indigenous dance tradition, each performance usually has a principal and several subsidiary purposes, which may express or reflect the communal values and social relationships of the people.
