On the Occasion of SORAC 98 International Conference on Africa

UMOJA DANCE COMPANY

Umoja Dance Company
With choreography by Karen Love, Umoja performs a fusion of abstract modern and African dance exploring the internal quest for human life in a provocative and forceful fashion.

Umoja Dance Company is a New Jersey-based multi-cultural company of dancers established in 1993 by Karen L. Love as a vehicle to educate, preserve and present dance as a communal and spiritual expression of life. Umoja creates a nurturing environment that encourages cross-cultural exchange and celebrates their accessibility to the human spirit. Innovative, dynamic, rhythmic and gestural phrases are the essence of Umoja, the Ki-swahili word for unity. Through our ongoing research we continue to adapt aspects of African culture, aesthetics and values that are paramount to our work. Our fusion of contemporary modern and West African dance reflects the evolution of movement and spirit becoming one.
