Jennifer Monson : I think that my dance work often pulls together things that sort of resonate with how I experience myself as a human and, often use a word like civilized, or there are also more problematic, and there is something wild or natural. And those are terms that we embody in this kind of conflict and the dancing. So I think that is sort of center of where my dance work comes from. That's what I am trying to figure out ways of understanding or knowing or evoking those kinds of contradictions.

Jennifer Monson : I started with some processes that developed from the idea that I had of water. Things about flow or absorbing or solutions that dissolve and saturate. And I read about water and that's the images that float around in my life for a while. Also I worked a lot with the systems of the body. I feel like there is kind of parallel between how we understand the fluids in the body, how we understand the water, the body is 80% of water, and in a lot of... my work, I deal with the relationality and understanding the systems of the body and images that shift and change and generate movement. That's sort of what I work with.
