Jordan Fuchs (Visiting dates: September 23rd-27th)
Jordan Fuchs is a dance artist whose choreography is grounded in improvisational practice, specifically the bias towards disorientation, sensation and process of contact improvisation, a movement form he has been practicing for more than 25 years. In addition to his choreography for stage, he also creates work for video screens, museums and outdoor spaces. His choreography has been hailed as “magical” by Jennifer Dunning of the New York Times and presented at numerous venues across the US and internationally. His videodance projects utilize disorientation as a strategy for making accessible the embodied experience of dancing and have been presented nationally and internationally. A Professor of Dance at Texas Woman’s University, Fuchs is the founder of the Texas Dance Improvisation Festival and a former Fulbright Specialist. He has taught workshops across the US and internationally in Europe, Asia and Australia. A former Dance Specialist in the Jerome Robbins Moving Image Archive of the Dance Division of the New York Public Library, he holds a BA in Religion from Oberlin College and an MFA in Choreography from Ohio State University where he was awarded a University Fellowship.
