Artistic director Claire Jacob-Zysman is a choreographer, dancer, teacher, and registered dance/movement therapist (R-DMT) and includes these multiple facets of her dance life in her choreography. Her company performs dance pieces that portray real and imagined characters whose complexity and authenticity she demonstrates through movement. Ms. Jacob-Zysman’s creative process and choreography is driven by her belief that dance should be a therapeutic exploration of the truest form of the self.
