Rolfer, dancer, teacher, life-long learner and happy slave to a small feline in the North of England. Occasional writer. Lover of espresso, craft beer, books and bicycles (not usually in that order).

 

A transatlantic transplant, Jennifer-Lynn trained in Canada at Quinte Ballet School and the School of Toronto Dance Theatre before gaining her Pg-Dip and M.A. at London Contemporary Dance School. She completed her Rolfing training at the European Rolfing Association in Munich and continues her study through ongoing workshops in both Rolfing and other modalities.

 

She has a long-standing involvement in the UK’s conservatoire system for HE dance training and was on faculty at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance 2007-2016. She has taught and performed throughout the UK and internationally, working with choreographers such as Charlotte Spencer, Hagit Yakira and Hofesh Shechter. 

 

Dance is a way of addressing what doesn’t get addressed in our current culture, that movement is an opening towards life. Not to be confused with ’exercise’ or ’fitness’ though those might get pulled along with it. Dance can be a way into an indispensable memory of vitality and pleasure in bodiedness and material being from your earliest self, through watching or through your own movement; it is an alternative to the passivity of screen-based life. Always more than itself, dance immediately brings us into relationship.

 

Jennifer-Lynn is fascinated by how the Rolfing process supports individuals to explore and integrate their own best way of embodying and feeling movement through their physical structures, of understanding how their specific life experience impacts their bodies, their breath and their movement.

She co-facilitates workshops and retreat-style somatic movement days with friends and colleauges Fabiano Culora and Gianluca Vincentini (Mobius Dance) and enjoys a research-oriented long-simmering process with fellow mover Tom Goodwin and dance-maker Amy Voris peregrinations.
