“Her first full-length show, In Transit, demonstrates how technical prowess can meet child-like playfulness. Throughout, dancers play their bodies like musical instruments as they weave intricate formations and portray comedic/disturbing narratives...These ladies are not only capable of great feats of agility, but also of an honest connectedness to each other on stage. - Teresa Lynn, idanz Article
IN TRANSIT (2010)
“Truly heartfelt dancing, and orchestration of that dancing. A kind of complexity and simplicity, simultaneously. Layers of meaning. Generosity towards and honest attentiveness to the audience. The importance and poignancy of remembering. Hanging onto and expressing memory through movement- and thus honoring it. Courageous, uncontrived. I wanted it to go on!” - Pamela Vail, Philadelphia Dance Artist and Artist in Residency at Franklin & Marshall College Lancaster, PA
Unearthed Moments (2009) Choreographed by Lyndsey Vader
“Jenny Showalter and Lyndsey Vader’s work, ‘What is in Between,’ followed suit with an intriguing choreographic exploration of space between the bodies of two dancers. These performers seemed to eat up the stage around them with hazy, smooth movements. Nothing about their dancing pricked or jumped out at me as I attempted to follow their spatial traces; yet, this made their slippery, synchronized mannerisms all the more engaging to watch.” - Hannah Krafcik “IMPRESSIONS OF: A program of WAX: Phase II,” The Dance Enthusiast Article
What Is In Between (2008) Choreographed by Jenny Showalter and Lyndsey Vader
“Showalter is evolving a unique voice and perspective in the dance world. She successfully blends her sensitivity to musical structure with an original athletic vocabulary that excites the viewers. The result is choreography that is both kinetically compelling and thoughtful.” - James Hansen “Jenny Showalter's choreography is notable for its crystalline clarity of form and its athletic power. Ms. Showalter crafts pieces with exquisite architecture and rich movement invention.” - Bill Evans
Choreography by Jenny Showalter
“Unearthed Moments was not only a testament to its choreographer, but also to the power of dance as an artistic medium to portray history, create emotion and to intellectually engage its audience.” - Doug Priest, “Dance merges speech, movement,” The Stylus (2009)
“What is in Between choreographed by Jenny Showalter and Lyndsey Vader was an exciting, intricate duet performed by Becca Carter and Leah Watson. Full of athleticism and detail, the dancers moved close to and "in between" one another, creating a palpable tension on the stage.” - Michelle Dexter, Artistic Director of Perpetual Motion/ Modern Dance Oklahoma
