What Is In Between (2007)

Choreographed by Jenny Showalter and Lyndsey Vader

“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

Unearthed Moments (2009)

Choreographed by Lyndsey Vader

“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)

“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

Choreography by Jenny Showalter

“Showalter’s choreography is a fantastic, athletic matrix of human geometry, antic and calm at appropriate moments, aware, earthy and surface-fascinating.  It is the work of an explorer who takes dance qua dance as seriously as anyone, yet has the charm and head-bobbing motion of unbridled youth.”  

- Daniel Felsenfeld, NYC composer and author

“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, director of Bill Evans Dance Company

“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.”

-Jim Hansen, Associate Professor at The College at Brockport State University of New York
