Jenny's Artist Statement:
I create art to invite consciousness and peace into my life. I dance to study the design of my inner landscape and to grow intimate with its ever changing terrain and climate. Using the body and the voice, I encourage people to enter their own skin for awhile. In so doing, I promote ease and calm and creative approaches to daily living.
Movement is a profound catalyst for deep change, healing, support, and restoration. In this way, I call people to begin to EMBODY their lives; to say what they mean and mean what they say, and to think for themselves. When I create a dance with others or write a song, my soul intention is to give voice to the TRUTH of Oneness I have found within, to empower every human being who encounters me or my work to come to truth on their own terms, and to ultimately LIVE the peace and ease that I teach.
One day, I sat in a garden with a wise woman and she said these words,
"Trust yourself and keep the work true. Above all else, stay true."
May it be so...
