''My interest is in dance as inquiry into Being."
An artist with the Lower Left Performance Collective since 2003, previously the co-founder/director of the Head On Off performance collective, Jessica enlivens dormant potentials in our environment creating site-specific video and live performance. These collaborative and solo works have been presented at renowned contemporary venues including Sushi Performance and Visual Art, Sledgehammer Theatre, the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego , the 418 Project in Santa Cruz, CA, and the Joyce SOHO in NYC. Jessica's performance training includes postmodern dance with Lower Left, Ruth Zaporah, and Deborah Hay. Additional influences include Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement, and Alexander Technique. Jessica received a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in 1994. She is a licensed Holistic Health Practitioner currently practicing and teaching Somatic Bodywork in Southern California. Jessica's performance work and bodywork practice deeply influence and inform each other, weaving together into exciting new integrated expressions.
