My name is Jenna.

Thank you for being here.

Currently based in Torino.

Movement has brought a continuous unfolding to my life. I hope to give you a glimpse into the times my practice has set my sense of time afloat, put my breath back in my hands, showed me the honor of togetherness, and changed me over and over again. I have gratitude to continue to experience as many beings in their own creative practices, both realized and unrealized, as I can in time.

I am from Dallas, Texas. I was held for many years by creatives in the Dallas dance community. I graduated with honors from SMU Meadows School of the Arts with degrees in Dance Performance and Film & Media Arts. In my time at SMU I was in process with and performed work by Molissa Fenley, Silas Farley, Mike Esperanza, Cameron McKinney, and Matthew Neenan, among others. I also produced independent work throughout my time, including an evening length, multimedia showcase funded by an Engaged Learning Fellowship I was awarded. This work merged my photography, filmmaking, and choreography in a months-long process directing 10 dear, collaborating artists. I worked as a company artist for Bridget Moore’s B.Moore Dance for two seasons. During this time, I performed in the 2023 American Dance Platform at the Joyce Theatre. I also collaborated in project-based work for Bombshell Dance Project. I researched internationally through multiple labs and workshops where I was gifted with rich knowledge and vulnerability from artists such as Pau Aran, Sidra Bell, Bret Easterling, Mike Esperanza, Madison Hicks, Annamari Keskinen and Ryan Mason, Milan Nowoitnick-Kampfer, Kevin Pajarillaga, Joshua Peugh, and Maleek Washington, among many others.

I am also a movement photographer, videographer, and filmmaker. I do independent and collaborative freelance work with movement portraits, as well as studio and performance videography, and conceptual film. I have collaborated with dancers and actors to create presentational and promotional materials for a wide range of projects. I have had my work featured in programming at The Joyce Theatre, Edinburgh Fringe Fest, Finding Compassion, Moving Forward Winter Fest, and SMU Meadows School of the Arts.
