About Djassi Dacosta Johnson
Multi-hyphenate International Performance-Based Artist, anthropologist, dancer, choreographer, Creative Director, photographer, filmmaker, DP, writer, designer and Doula. Highlighting pioneers of color in the classical ballet and modern dance worlds through words and documentary films. Dance is the filter through which I see everything. Whether with my body, the camera or the pen, I move in a ritual sense, offering thanks to those who have paved this path from etches on pyramid walls to rhythmic feet pounding the earth like a heartbeat…telling the stories we need to remember to pain t the Future. I agree with Pina. As long as we dance, we will never be lost.Bio and Resume available on my website:djassidacostajohnson.com
