“You never know quite what you’re in for with this ultra-talented dancer, who creates extraordinary movement/sound pieces in which the body becomes the most versatile of instruments, playing the music of an invisible dimension.”

The Call of The Wilds”

“ . . . the audience was taken on an immersive journey  through movement, live electronics, and motion capture technology . . .  The Wilds  presents the resonating truths of the oldest story in the world: light, fallen into darkness and then redeemed, in a totally new way.”

“…choreographer Laurel Jenkins’ ecstatic, be-in-style movement and her dancer’s participatory gesticulations — is a mash-up of a mega-church sermon and a production of Hair.”

Community Through Dance: An Interview with Laurel Jenkins

“When the body speaks through movement, there is a directness and specificity, because the body is always in the present moment. And I think that’s when real change happens and when we experience joy, and that’s when people really come together.”

“Another highlight is Laurel Jenkins’ choreography, which when she wasn’t having to re-create Studio 54, allowed for extraordinary abstract solos and groups whirling like dervishes. She and Pulitzer used bodies for their imagery, magnificently in the three orchestral ‘Meditations.'”
