ABOUT MAKE A JOYFUL NOIZE
Make A Joyful Noize explores the affirming and unifying experiences that uplift the human spirit -- the redemptive power of self-love, happiness and the transformative potential of expressions of pleasure and joy  in the face of oppression. If not for joy, we would have never survived... Make a Joyful Noize is a curated celebration of music, affirmations, rituals, spoken word and dance that explores the force we know as Black joy. It examines the redemptive power of self-love, happiness and the transformative potential of expressions of pleasure and joy in the face of oppression. It is the secular and the religious song; the spoken word and the memorialized image of unfiltered, unadulterated and unapologetic joy. *Co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall. WATCH REEL.
