Event Details

Jessica Smith and Chelsea Ainsworth present "Bear (v.)", an evening dance performance that explores experiences or memories that we've buried. The piece follows an individual and their ability to accept and confront these challenges. Jessica and Chesea have been in quarantine, together, for the past two months and are excited to share these pieces with you in a virtual way. While in quarantine, they have been focusing on making new works and creating a dance film. At the end of the evening you will see a short trailer for the evening length dance film that will be premiering this summer.


Jessica Smith and Chelsea Ainsworth have been making and presenting work since 2017. They come from an international background of creating and performing work in places such as England, Germany, Japan, Philippines, West Africa, and the United States. Jessica and Chelsea have performed at venues such as West End Theatre, Kittery Maine, Musikfest Pennsylvania, Peridance Capezio Center, CreateArt, and Arts On Site. They have set work on companies such as the Peridance Youth Ensemble and Mixt Company Connecticut.
