Juliet (jules) Paramor (b. 1994) is a dance + performance artist and teacher living in Boston, MA (Massachusett + Pawtucket land). She has deep roots in the Bay Area, CA (Ohlone land) and Pacific Northwest (Coast Salish land). Juliet has been a teaching artist since 2022 as well as facilitates class and contact improvisation jams. She has been performing as a freelance artist since 2015. Her movement practice is rooted in improvisation, somatic principles, release technique, club dancing, pleasure and discomfort, physiology and energetics, corporeality and magic. She draws from a vast lineage of queer experimental artists from the Bay Area and beyond, notably teachers Kathleen Hermesdorf, Karen de Luna (MX), Abby Crain, Gerald Casel, Sara Shelton Mann, and mayfield brooks. Jules collaborates with artists of multiple mediums, objects, energy in the space, and her voice to co-create vivid worlds for feeling and being, processing and healing. She pulls from her experiences as a birth worker and sex worker, with deep reverence for the wisdom of the Pussy and the Womb. Her work explores primal belonging, femininity + power, sexuality + sensuality(eros), devotion vs. extraction, and how desire + time exist in the body, and mutually affect one another.
