2011 DANCE RECIPIENT

JESS CURTIS

choreographer / director / performer

"Finding ways to share and inspire the vast 'body' of knowledge that exists in our bodies continues to captivate me."

Curtis’ body-based interdisciplinary work crosses boundaries between contemporary dance, physical theatre, performance art, acrobatics, and often includes original live music. He founded his company, Jess Curtis/Gravity, in 2000 as a research and development vehicle for live performance.
