Jennifer Nugent is a performer, educator, mother, and partner. Jennifer addresses her body, mind and being through questioning. Articulating internal experiences through performance and teaching, she augments these practices by sharing and refining ideas in front of others—a transmission of spoken and gestural language. Her dancing is profoundly inspired by Linda Rogers Albritton, Ann Cummings, Patricia Cummings, Beatrice LaVerne, Barbara Sloan, Bambi Anderson, Dale Andree, Gerri Houlihan, Daniel Lepkoff, Wendell Beavers, Lisa Race, David Dorfman, Patty Townsend, Thomas F. DeFrantz, and Janet Wong, Jennifer is currently performing in the cast of Weathering by Faye Driscoll. She has been a company member of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company, David Dorfman Dance, and sustained a duet collaboration with Paul Matteson from 1999-2019. Jennifer received a Masters Degree in 2019 from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. She currently teaches Sarah Lawrence College (NY) and Movement Research (NYC).
