We are two, JENN FREEMAN and PO’CHOP, and we create movement-based performances. Our work is transgressive and pulls from drag and burlesque, modern and praise dance, and spoken word and hip hop. Our work is a reimagining of Lord as (Audre) Lorde where worship is a space where the erotic is regarded as the highest knowledge and ancestors are whispered into walls made of brown bags. Our healing is urgent. Through edifying the legacies of Black women and femmes we heal from the lessons we learned between pews. We came of age in Missouri’s bootheel as Black and Queer. Our work is both holy and hilarious. Crossing media lines from live performance to digital, we are a hybrid fueled by meme culture, Black history, and rural Baptist aesthetics. We revel in rituals that are collaborative and participatory. We use objects, sounds, and movement to encourage the recalling of memories and emotions. Tugging audiences into imagined worlds, our art creates space for folks like public housing activist Beauty Turner or icon Mary J. Blige or often overlooked pioneer and faith healer Elder Lucy Smith to be remembered and uplifted. We, Jenn Freeman and Po’Chop, manifest new worlds outta breath and imagination. Learn more.
