Jennifer’s practices are profoundly inspired by Daniel Lepkoff, Wendell Beavers, Patty Townsend, and an ongoing collaboration with Paul Matteson. She has been performing since age sixteen, most notably with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company from 2009-2014 and David Dorfman Dance from 1999-2007. In 2019 Jennifer completed her MFA at The University of the Arts, PA. Currently she is a part of the online collective freeskewl and has developed a monthly teaching artist talk series, Pedagogy/Poetic Entry, within the freeskewl platform.
Dancing Grounding Tuning
Inside improvisational and set technical structures, challenges and phrase work, this class hopes to offer an experience of how movement might live rather than become positioned. The base material for physical tuning and practicing will explore sensation, instinct, and the inherent musicality inside the body in order to investigate what is movements language; to consider technique and our own movement desires as languaging – as a conversation with dance.
