Jessica Anthony
Jessica Anthony is a performer, choreographer, and educator who is interested in the ways that dance can empower us to tell our stories, create community, and practice new ways of being in the world. She considers herself a researcher of “circles,” using movement to explore what can happen in these third spaces of creation and community building. Since 2011, she has facilitated circles in rehearsals, classrooms, and diverse community settings, including the Iowa Juvenile Home, John McDonald Residential Treatment Facility, Four Oaks Family and Children Services, United Action for Youth, and the Liberal Arts Behind Bars Speaker Series, Iowa Medical Center Correctional Facility. She has held academic teaching appointments at the University of Iowa, Lindenwood University, and Bryn Mawr College. Her creative work utilizes a collaborative process in order to engage with personal, social and political issues. From 2004-2010 Jessica performed nationally and internationally with Jane Comfort and Company (NYC) and presented her work at The Field (NYC) and The Invisible Dog Center (Brooklyn, NY). She received her MFA in Dance from The University of Iowa.
