Ayo & Company
ABOUT US
Established in 2011 by Ayo Walker, the project-based/pick up dance company, Ayo & Company
(formerly LJ Boogie & Company), made its first appearances in Brooklyn, NY at White Wave’s 11th Annual DUMBO Dance Festival and 9th Annual Cool NY Dance Festival. The company consists of available artists who join me in producing projects when my work is commissioned for dance festivals, conferences, and choreographer showcases. Making its way from the East Coast to the West Coast, the company took a five-year hiatus, then reemerged in 2017 for the 5th annual PUSH Dance Festival at ODC Theatre in San Francisco, CA. for the Bay Area premiere of my latest work, “Do Hashtags Make Black Lives Matter?” Ayo & Company present works that invoke the narratives of the voiceless and challenges audiences’ comfort levels just enough to ignite a shift in thought from culpable to proactive. Navigating how
we perceive and understand our own identities and the identities of people we engage with, our
exhibitions intend to represent an unconventional perspective of performance art.
