As a Dyspraxic Dance Artist, Jenna is a passionate advocate for movement as a source of pleasure and a medium for embodied storytelling. Her virtuosic, expressive, and responsive style lends itself to transformative character work, which she has explored through verbatim theatre and comedy. Most recently, she has been experimenting with interdisciplinary storytelling in pursuit of an answer to the question: “What’s the best way to tell this story?”
