Our Team

Errin Weaver

Executive Artistic Director

Concert 2024-6.png

Errin Weaver is a choreographer, cultural practitioner, birthworker, and holistic healer whose work unfolds at the crossroads of African diasporic dance, embodied wellness, and collective remembering. She is the Executive Artistic Director of Mojuba! Dance Collective, an African contemporary dance company based in Cleveland, Ohio, devoted to honoring Black narrative experience, restoring cultural connection, and tending to community wellness through movement.

Rooted in African diasporic traditions and sacred dance within the Black church, Errin’s practice understands the body as archive, altar, and offering. Shaped by her lived experience as a mother of two, massage therapist, full-spectrum doula, midwife assistant, and racial trauma–informed practitioner, her work bridges choreography, birthwork, and healing justice—inviting movement as medicine and care as culture.

Errin holds degrees from Tennessee State University, DePaul University, and Wilson College, and performed with the renowned Muntu Dance Theatre. Her work has been shared across stages and communities nationally and internationally, with support from the Ohio Arts Council, Karamu House, and the National Center of Choreography.

She is also the founder of All Our Babies, an interdisciplinary initiative centering Black birth, healing, and imaginative futures. Across studios, stages, classrooms, and care spaces, Errin invites people to return to the body, remember ancestral wisdom, and imagine liberated futures—guided by creativity as medicine and care as a sacred practice.
