The choreographer and performer Jamila Johnson-Small creates spaces - on stages, screens, in corners and bodies - always in the context of decentralized power structures and non-hierarchical conditions of existence. In a (stage) world of obstacles, opacities, electronic music and crowds, she navigates copies of herself and Black queer body images between different mental states, textures and intoxication(s) in her first solo project as Last Yearz Interesting Negro. In doing so, she transcends entrenched binaries, seeks out other movements, and consistently refuses to be a projection screen, an object of fantasy. Her unique work positions itself unequivocally: noise before silence, now before yesterday, pleasure before reason!
