RECENT NEWS On May 30th, 2008, The Twenty-three-sided Shape, a dance Jessica created for and with the grade 3/4 students of Salem Public School, had its premiere at the Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival. "A great success," wrote festival Co-artistic Director Catrina von Radecki; the dance delighted audiences of all ages. Critics called Jessica's dancing "sublime" in Peggy Baker's Dora nominated production Portal (March 2008, The Dsnce Current). In January, she performed with Louis Laberge-Cote, Takako Segawa, Rob Piilonen, and friends for a small but riveted crowd at the Leftover Daylight Series' Tribute to Stockhausen. In the 2007/08 school year, Jessica also taught at a number of Toronto public schools (see previous student responses) and at the PULSE Youth Conference. PREVIOUSLY
