About Me:

Jessica Morgan is a 2009 grant recipient of the Lower Manhattan Culture Council’s Manhattan Community Arts Fund. Her work has been featured in Movement Research’s Critical Correspondence Journal as “a kind of female ferocity that hasn’t been seen in a long time.” She performed her first evening length work at the Bushwick Starr in Bushwick, Brooklyn in June 2008. She was also a 2007 recipient of Dance Theater Workshop’s Outer/Space Creative Residency. Her work has been presented at Fresh Tracks at Dance Theater Workshop, Food for Thought at Danspace Project at St. Mark’s Church, Movement Research at the Judson Church, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, Performance Mix Festival, BAX First Weekends Dance Conversations at the Flea, and White Wave Festival among others. She has been invited to tour her work to Dance Place in Washington DC where her work was described as “unsettling and transfixing” (Dance View Times). She has enjoyed dancing with Mariah Maloney, Juliette Mapp, Kathy Westwater, Stephanie Tack, Rebecca Davis, and Ursula Eagly. She is originally from New York City and received her BFA from SUNY Purchase. Failure is Physical will be presented in its entirety by The Tank December 4th and 5th, 2009 as part of their New Works Series. For more info visit www.jessicamorgandance.wordpress.com.
