In the spring of 2007, Jessica performed with Kate Alton in Andrea Nann's gorgeous duet INK at Habourfront in Toronto and at the Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival.

In October 2007, Jessica's Conversation Piece was a hit at "Toronto’s most eclectic 'reading' series", the Box salon at the Rivoli.

In November 2007, Jessica was commissioned by Canada's pre-eminent AIDS research fundraising organization, CANFAR, to create a dance for their number one fundraising event, Bloor St. Entertains. In a most peculiar turn of events, an OAC student's misguided bomb hoax art project caused the whole event to be called off.
