Multi-spirited Nigerian American choreographer, author, performance artist, and curator jaamil olawale kosoko's award-winning work is rooted in a complex interdisciplinary practice that merges theater, video, sculpture, and the exploration of queer Black theory. Their new work, //shrouded\\, is a living poem and performative ceremony that recasts the body as an archive of memory and transformation. Performed by kosoko and their ensemble of visionary collaborators, //shrouded\\ unfolds in a shifting veil of silks that conceal and reveal states of metamorphosis. As performers slip between presence and absence, mourning and joy, figure and shadow, kosoko dares to ask what it means to choose to go unseen—in an age shaped by surveillance and spectacle. A unique mash up of poetry, sound, and movement, //shrouded\\ invites audiences into the communal act of reimagining the future.

This is a work in development performance.

Artist support for these performances of //shrouded\\ is provided by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with funding from the Doris Duke Foundation and the Mellon Foundation, and additional artist support from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Bogliasco Center in Italy, Shadowcliff Artist Residency, The New School, Cannonball Festival, showshow, and friends of kosoko performance studio.
