John Jasperse
Dance
Choreographer, Astistic Director, Director of the Dance Program at Sarah Lawrence College – United States – Bogliasco and Baryshnikov Arts Center Joint Fellowship
John Jasperse will be creating choreography for a project that examines ageism inherent in the broader culture and the dance world, in particular. In resistance to a stance which views aging as a process solely of loss, Jasperse will be working on joy and dance’s ability to connect us to our temporal reality and embodied presence in this world. This project will culminate in a residency at the Baryshnikov Art Center in New York City, realized in cooperation with the Bogliasco Foundation.
