MoJo Co.Lab

MoJo Co.Lab An artists collective focused on elevating the diverse voices in contemporary theatre led by choreographer and director Morgan Joanne Grube.

In 2020, during a time of crisis for the arts community, I launched a choreographic project bringing together local dance artists to create, connect, and present. Every work being presented this year is a reaction, a mirror, a physical representation of human experiences, culture, and community. Composed of a professional ensemble of gathered freelance artists, my project works to present provocat

ive, emotionally and physically charged dance. My focus is to promote and empower diverse artistic voices and experiences. As a collective, we are motivated by the core human need to express, to be seen, to have an authentic connection, and to have the joy of gathering to experience and present live art.

INTRODUCING | THE MATRESCENCE PROJECT

This Saturday see returning cast member, Emilyann, along with the cast of ‘Where I End and You Begin’ at Cleveland Dance Festival ( / ).

We asked Emilyann, What has your experience been like returning to this work and reimagining it to be performed for CDF 2025?

“Returning to ‘Where I End and You Begin’ for CDF 2025 has been an enlightening and redemptive journey. With a year’s worth of growth and shifting perspectives, the work has taken on new layers of meaning—emotionally and physically. What once felt like an exploration of boundaries now feels more like a conversation between them. Revisiting it has allowed me to surrender to transformation, letting the piece breathe differently and uncover a newfound sense of vulnerability.”

We asked Ang, What has your experience been like returning to this work and reimagining it to be performed for CDF 2025?

“Although I was not in the premier of Where I End and You Begin, I had the privilege of being a part of the creative process. To be embraced by the original cast and have the opportunity to be fully immersed in the reimagining of this work has been an incredibly rewarding experience that has nourished and informed my artistry. This deep dive into the evolution of myself, the cast, Morgan, and the piece itself has been a gift.“ — Ang

This Saturday see returning cast member, Jade Eileen(), along with the cast of ‘Where I End and You Begin’ at Cleveland Dance Festival (The Movement Project/ Playhouse Square).

We asked Jade, What has your experience been like returning to this work and reimagining it to be performed for CDF 2025?

“Coming back to this piece has been emotional in ways I didn’t expect. It’s brought back old emotions, stirred up new ones, and uncovered feelings that have been quietly growing since I last performed it. Some moments in the piece have gone untouched, while others have evolved, just like us. What makes this all so special to me is the shared vulnerability within it and how each of us brings our own stories, feelings, memories, and pain, yet we move together to create a safe space to feel all the emotions we usually hide. It’s a reflection of who we’ve become and the space we continue to hold for one another. It’s raw, honest, and healing in its own way.” —Jade

We asked Sam, What has your experience been like returning to this work and reimagining it to be performed for CDF 2025?

“The process of rebuilding this piece has been natural, beautiful, hard, a collective reflection, an introspection, a resignation, an invigoration. My voice feels softer and grittier. Our group feels stronger. I’m excited to re-tell our evolved our stories to the CDF audience.“ —Sam

This Saturday see returning cast member, Trinity, along with the cast of ‘Where I End and You Begin’ at Cleveland Dance Festival (The Movement Project / Playhouse Square).

We asked Trinity, What has your experience been like returning to this work and reimagining it to be performed for CDF 2025?

“In some ways, it feels like just yesterday that we first performed this piece, and at the same time, so much has happened in the past year. I don’t know where I begin. I suppose that it has been an ongoing process of self-understanding; identifying all of the ways in which I fit into our collective whole…because we are all in different places than we were a year ago.

I very much enjoyed getting to revisit my solo within the sixth section of the piece. A telling moment for me as to just how much this piece has evolved with time.

At times, it is a longing for the past version, or perhaps a past version of myself, or maybe the fear of the passage of time and the changes that come with it. But ultimately, the question of how to maintain the thread from the story we told a year ago to the one we are telling now.

I am excited for audiences to experience this piece in a different way than how the audience a year ago in Detroit experienced it. Bringing this piece to a stage setting, gives it a sort of sanctuary, one where I hope you can find yourself vulnerable to feel with us.”
—Trinity
