Jennifer Harge / Harge Dance Stories
Detroit
Jennifer Harge is an interdisciplinary choreographer, performance artist, and educator based in Detroit, MI. Her work centers Black and queer vernacular movement practices, codes, and rituals that manifest at the intersections of performance, installation, and community gathering. Harge’s processes and artistic products grow out of Black subjectivity; Black feminist thought; nurturance of intimate reciprocal partnerships; and iteration-based research that allows the work to evolve nomadically across time and varied contexts. She founded Harge Dance Stories in 2014 as a container for choreographic research.
Harge Dance Stories is deeply collaborative. Their creative process engages the voices of many dance artists, writers, curators, visual artists, family, and friends; including deep thought partnership with Devin Drake, Clare Croft, Taylor Aldridge, Nadia Tykulsker, Sterling Toles, Crystal Perkins, Audrey Johnson, Miryam Johnson, Shanice Rollins, Billy Mark, The Hinterlands, Duane Lee Holland, Jr., The Gathering Detroit, the cities of Highland Park and Detroit, MI, and many more.
