Adultification by @jjdc2004
May 7 & 8 @ 8pm
May 9 @ 3pm
Jamal Jackson Dance Company (JJDC) was founded with the purpose of fusing various traditional African dance styles with Modern techniques and diverse contemporary music styles to create a new, unique technique that is relevant to a multifarious community. JJDC’s study and movement language are initiated by forming the connections between the artistic and communal practices of the Bambara, Malinke, Wasalu, and Khassonke peoples of Mali, West Africa and the traditions and histories of people in the US. The movement and storylines of JJDC’s work focus on redefining ideas of community and blurring divisive lines, while still celebrating the beauty of individual cultures. Our mission is to create space and empower people to actively engage in their narratives while presenting work in different communities.
🎟️ Limited tickets and a waitlist will be available 30 minutes before curtain each day!

Adultification

Adultification refers to the racial bias in which people perceive Black children as older and less innocent than other children. Black boys can be seen as responsible for their actions at an age when most boys still benefit from the assumption that children are innocent. Adultification explores the joy created by these young Black children and juxtaposes it with the forced adulthood that is set upon them.
