Jordan Fuchs (Assistant Professor) makes dances that extend the expressive possibilities of live performance through explorations of form and formlessness, physical relationships at close-quarters and experiments in staging and technology. Hailed by Deborah Jowitt of the Village Voice as "Redefining chaos," Fuchs' choreography has been commissioned by Danspace Project (2003, 2005 and 2008) Kristina Isabelle, and Perpetual Motion, supported by the New York State Music Fund, and presented at venues in New York City, including Dance Theater Workshop, Movement Research at Judson Church, Queens Theatre in the Park, Dancenow/NYC, Chashama, the Flea and nationally at venues in San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Columbus, and Providence. Fuchs has curated evenings of improvisational dance at the Flea and in 2009 initiated the Texas Dance Improvisation Festival. He has had the pleasure of performing with artists, including K.J. Holmes, Kirstie Simson, Leslie Scates, Sarah Gamblin, Mark Dendy, Luka Kito/Megan Boyd, Rebecca Lazier, Scott Wells, Lizz Roman, Joanne Nerenberg, and Potrezebie, and also had the pleasure of studying with Ellie Klopp, Brian Kloppenberg, Jaclynn Villamil, Mestre Marcelo Pereira, Sara Shelton Mann and Contraband. He has collaborated with composers Andy Russ, Erik Pearson, Rafael Cohen, Justin Mullins, and Jason Fick, as well as with the visual artist Katie Glicksberg. He has been on faculty at Hunter College and Movement Research and taught nationally and internationally at festivals such as Tsekh Summer School in Moscow, Russia, Moving Arts at Earthdance and Danz'Aqui Festival Internacional in Puerto Rico. From 2000-2007 he was a Dance Specialist in the Dance Division of the New York Public Library. He holds a BA in Religion from Oberlin College and an MFA in Choreography from Ohio State University, where he was a University Fellow. www.jordanfuchs.org
