“Lecture, Demonstration, Performance” is a 55 min performance art piece created in real-time through Socratic discussion. Part dialogue, part monologue, part choreography, part improvisation, this work is a broad reflection on dance as an art form through the ages. Its purpose is to challenge assumptions about expression, perception, and the human body. The funds from the purchasing of this piece go directly to support Colorado Springs Dance Theatre’s efforts to expand its educational programming.

“Living Safely between Emergencies” Please contact Jordan for pricing

“Living Safely between Emergencies” is an 18 min solo performance for a max of 10 audience members. In a private atmosphere, this contemporary immersive work is a response to the shifts in human intimacy, connectedness, and shared responsibility in the wake of the new global landscape.
