Jess Humphrey’s movement research began in childhood with gymnastics, and continues with dancemaking from various, shifting perspectives and states of body~mind. Her dances are expressions of her engagement in various contemplative and somatic practices, Integral Theory, and care for the work of those within whose lineages she moves. She collaborates with Eric Geiger and Leslie Seiters in multiple contexts, and has shared in the creation of several evening length dances (as director, collaborator, and/or performer) over the past eighteen years with other artists including Guillermo Gómez-Peña/La Pocha Nostra, Sara Shelton Mann, and LIVE. Jess is a certified Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analyst (CLMA), currently training in Body-Mind Centering®, and continues to learn through teaching as an Assistant Professor at San Diego State University. www.jesshumphrey.com
