jay has extremely diverse performance experience in modern, contemporary, ballet, abstract, and experimental works. they thrive in both high-intensity, virtuosic modern dance performance as well as textural, environmentally-driven pieces. jay has often worked with task-based, improvisational, and site-specific choreography. strengths as a performer include improvisatory score performance, technical and abstract works, works driven by presence and texture, and works that directly engage audiences through close proximity, touch, or gaze. jay enjoys emotionally complex works that call on subtle gesture, unexpected dynamic timing, playfulness and humor, multiple mood or environmental shifts, and full kinesthetic embodiment to activate the space between performers and audience members.
