Jeni has been listening through all senses -- with the land, River Saskawhihiwine, and all that comprises the Living World of the place we call Blue Deer. She is creating a dance: as a collaborative celebration of what is possible in Kinship, and as a gift to Place.
The next step in co-generative dance-making is a Community Conversation, hosted at BDC. This is part demonstration, part experiential wander, and part sharing/discovery. A culminating interactive performance will be shared with the community in late 2026.
Immersing myself in the richly layered, elemental processes of place, time, and relationship, I am consciously participating in what is shaping and changing. By extension, all who engage and interact with this project are invited into intimacy with personal-communal experiences of body and belonging. In relationship & kinship, we generate thriving for all life.

Jeni is a fiscally-sponsored dancer and somatic movement educator with a keen interest in collaborative and community-based participation as foundational in co-generating new work.
Her current projects turn intimately and courageously towards dissolution and emergence— in body, perception, relationship, culture, and environment. In this time of the sixth extinction, she celebrates what is possible when we allow the wisdom of the body and direct connection with nature to invigorate and enflesh new forms, amplifying well-being and dynamic interrelationship with all life.
