![Come experience the Skeleton, Fleshed Out with Jessica at Summer Workshop 2026 this July!
Jessica makes dances to leverage the profound healing potential of human beings moving together, attending to space, time, and bodies, and deepening their relationships with each other and the world through the tenderness and vulnerability elicited by the creative process.
Skeleton, Fleshed Out* is a practice where set choreography is the “skeleton”, improvisational scores are the “flesh”, and the dancer layers, oscillates between, and plays with both to create dances in real-time. On a good day, it's a gentle yet rigorous framework for the practice and development of a dance that allows the threshold between choreography and improvisation to align our body, mind, and spirit if we let it.
