JCWK Dance Lab views the practice, performance and education of dance as research. Much like a scientific process, JCWK Dance Lab’s projects involve brainstorming, developing an idea, testing that idea through choreographic investigation in the dance-studio-laboratory, and sharing the results through performance. JCWK Dance Lab’s director, Jessica Warchal-King, has been leading choreographic projects – for large scale productions and shorter performances – for over two decades. JCWK Dance Lab and Jessica Warchal-King are available for choreographic and performance commissions.
Choreography and Performance research projects include:
