Mother Mother Binahkaye Joy dances a life inside pockets of possibility…

Mother Mother Binahkaye Joy dances a life inside pockets of possibility and creates expansive, movement laboratories out of everyday spaces that are soft, vast, and fluid enough for multitudinous mothering entities. Her work explores the movements, stories and futures born from a mother’s body that is (nearly) always attached to or in close proximity to her children. As a descendant of Africans who were once enslaved on the same soil where she miraculously came into existence, Mother Mother dances the dreams and freedom songs of her foremothers, her movements reimagining the elasticity and capacity of mothering labors, and mending the aching hearts and generational fractures of the mothers in her bloodline who were forcibly separated from their children. Mother Mother dances at home and out in the world, surrounded by her children who are freely moving in their own joys and rhythms. Her movements are a celebration and a testament to the abundance inherent in each breath, and a radical commitment to making something beautiful with her dancing body however tiny, chaotic or impractical the moment might seem to be.

Binahkaye means “mother of mothers” and “dancing mother.”
