She successfully blends her sensitivity to musical structure with an original athletic vocabulary that excites the viewers. The result is choreography that is both kinetically compelling and thoughtful. -Jim Hansen, Associate Professor at The College at Brockport State University of New York ... ?n=1&p=000007 Jenny Showalter's choreography is notable for its crystalline clarity of form and its athletic power. Ms. Showalter crafts pieces with exquisite architecture and rich movement invention. - Bill Evans, Visiting Professor and Guest Artist in Residency at The College at Brockport State University of New York ... ?n=1&p=000006 Showalters choreography is a fantastic, athletic matrix of human geometry, antic and calm at appropriate moments, aware, earthy and surface-fascinating.
