Petals with Jennifer Nugent 


Drop-In to all, one, or two:
Wednesday, June 2nd, Monday, June 7th, and Wednesday, June 9th at 10am-12pm

DESCRIPTION:
Each Petal explores awareness, which could be considered spaciousness, in the feet, spine, and pelvic floor encouraging an experiencing mode in physicality; inviting a play with tipping, falling, and suspending off center simultaneously to find a flexible base of support. Inside each Petal we balance sensation, instinct, and the inherent musicality inside the body with the challenges of moving inside a set pattern or form. The idea of Petals is to pass through a repetitive structure and renegotiating our relationship to self while in conversation with movement.

BIO:
Jennifer's teaching and dancing is inspired by all her teachers and mentors, most profoundly by Ann Cummings, Patricia Cummings, Linda Rogers Albritton, Beatrice LaVerne, Daniel Lepkoff, Wendell Beavers, Dale Andree, Bambi Anderson, Gerri Houlihan, David Dorfman, Lisa Race, Bill T. Jones, Janet Wong, Paul Matteson, Wendy Woodson, and Patty Townsend. Jennifer Nugent danced with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company from 2009-2014, Paul Matteson, from 2004-2021, and David Dorfman Dance from 1999-2007. Nugent received a Master of Fine Arts degree in 2019 from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA.
