Casglu is a monthly space for professional dancers and movement practitioners to come together, explore their craft and learn from established industry leaders.
Jennifer Jackson Company creates exhilarating and empowering experiences for audiences and participants which invites them to dream into new kinships and cosmologies. The company is led by Jennifer Jackson, an award winning Latinx British-Bolivian Theatremaker, Movement Director, Choreographer, writer and Performer. Her work exists at the meeting point of performance and the excitement of a sports spectacle.
Her practice is interdisciplinary, intersectional, and inclusive. She is particularly interested in the sports arena as a space that deals in the fatigue and resurrection of bodies, and the porous relationship between audience and athlete.
Her performances encompass theatre, contemporary dance, live art, Bolivian folk dance, martial arts, and co-creation. Drawing from her mixed-heritage, Jennifer tells stories that speak to her diasporic heritage, post-colonial legacies; exploring power & gender biases. Often centring on the experiences of people who experience misogyny, her work examines the ways that women and girls use their bodies, the complexity of living between cultures, and proposes that the use of space is intimately tied up with power.
