Welcome and Mission

DanceBoissiere is an ensemble of women dance artists performing the choreography of Jenny Boissiere. We actively center our stories, in all of their joy and complexities. Through movement, text, and everyday technology, we create dances that invite audience participation and feedback so that we can make contemporary dance more accessible and understandable.

This work is extremely relational, beginning with improvisation and brainstorming with dancers. It then expands into lush, specific movements rooted in jazz and modern dance, and American-Southern line dances. Jenny’s choreography explores themes of power, interdependence, the search for kinetic joy, and cultural empathy.

We also disrupt the dance ecosystem to prioritize pay for dancers and choreographers. We want to create loud, expressive, and innovative dance works.
