Sorry I Missed Your Show: Jennifer Nugent

Two white people holding hands as they look up to the ceiling with their chests high. Ben McKeown

Jennifer Nugent and Paul Matteson are known for their phenomenal partnering work, creating duets that are intense, forceful, and passionate. Their duet, another piece apart, rests in silence, reflecting on a history of a fractured togetherness and a shared love for dance. The movement is off-balanced yet precise and multi-focused, blurring the boundaries between bodies in space. 

Join Jennifer Nugent for Sorry I Missed Your Show, a screening and discussion series, highlighting another piece apart and exploring her relationship to the dance canon and contemporary practice.

This event is free and open to the public.

About Jennifer Nugent
Jennifer Nugent’s practices are profoundly inspired by Daniel Lepkoff, Wendell Beavers, Patty Townsend, and an ongoing collaboration with Paul Matteson. She danced with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company from 2009-2014 and David Dorfman Dance from 1999-2007. Currently she is working on a new solo project, Up Against, which uses dance (steps, improvisation, shape, and gesture) as a way to articulate her curiosities and allow the vibration and energies that surface within the process of being in the studio to reverberate inside the performance. Currently she is a teaching artist at Freeskewl and The School for Contemporary Dance and Thought, Northampton, MA.

This event will have ASL interpretation and CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) services. If there are further inquires about access needs, please contact dani@gibneydance.org and sarah@gibneydance.org.
