joyUS justUS at Des Moines Performing Arts Center

  • Des Moines Civic Center 221 Walnut Street Des Moines, IA, 50309 United States (map)

“joyUS justUS” is an evening length participatory Activist Dance Theater experience that takes on joy as the ultimate expression of resistance. This piece embodies stories of hope, faith, family, strength, and of course, joy collected from communities of color in South Los Angeles. Through this evening long performance, we are creating a space of joy and healing, allowing the collective “us” to feel more connected, loved, powerful, and alive.

This piece has proven to be timeless as it has been touring the world since it’s premiere in 2018. Don’t miss this opportunity to practice your freedom and imagine a future in which justice and joy is not only possible but is a birthright!
