Jon Kinzel maintains a deeply interrelated choreographic and visual art practice. He has explored a variety of time-based media, urban life, social constructs, partnering, graphic mark making, loose imagery, and ways for the artifice of fiction to meet an experimental memoir. He feels fortunate to have performed and collaborated across disciplines with numerous artists: currently, with Vicky Shick. He has served as a sound designer, movement dramaturg, and curator, and he has taught at several universities, conservatories, festivals, and primary and secondary schools throughout NYC. A series of works—Queens Terminus, The Chocolate Factory, Long Island City, NY (2022); Pacific Terminus, Telematic Media Arts, San Francisco, CA (2019); and Atlantic Terminus, The Invisible Dog Art Center, Brooklyn, NY (2016)—brought together his drawings and paintings, video, sculpture, and dance forms, addressing technology’s effects on visual culture, social relationships, performance, haptic interaction, and the presentation of the moving body. He is the recipient of an FCA Grants to Artists (2025), a NYSCA Support for Artists (2025), MacDowell Fellowships (2024, 2020), and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in Choreography (2023).
