New York Dance: States of Performance (2010)

Quotes
Jennifer Monson: I think that my dance work often pulls together things that sort of resonate with how I experience myself as a human and, often use a word like civilized, or there are also more problematic, and there is something wild or natural. And those are terms that we embody in this kind of conflict and the dancing. So I think that is sort of center of where my dance work comes from. That's what I am trying to figure out ways of understanding or knowing or evoking those kinds of contradictions.
