Guarding Black culture & history

JaQuel Knight and Chris Grant presented a masterclass in African American culture through dance when the team choreographed Beyoncé’s famous 2018 Coachella performance, Homecoming. Better known as Beychella. Bringing together styles of dance ranging from flexing to stepping, the performance was themed around Historically Black Colleges and Universities and embraced the distinctive culture of a community full of energy, personality, and most important, swagger.
As a result, the performance became a cultural phenomenon, uniting audiences of all ages around an instant classic in the canon of festival and/or concert performances. The following year, Homecoming was the subject of a Netflix documentary, telling the story of the evolution of the moment in time from concept to cultural movement, and how their long-time collaborative spirits collectively lead to creativity being applied strategically.
