STAGED WORKS
“13431” [left] is Jaala’s senior emerging choreographer project created at UNCSA. It plays with the idea of resembling all things not human. Utilizing animalistic, mechanical and extraterrestrial themes and elements to contrast any recognizable human behavior.
“A Confession” [right] is an unfinished work choreographed by Jaala in celebration of Black Women for Black History Month. “ A Confession” is a spoken word and movement collaboration written by Jaala that highlights the bittersweetness of loving ones blackness in a world that radiates hate. It emphasizes how loving yourself in a world that diminishes your value is the greatest yet most bittersweet form of resistance.
