Jayne Port, Choreographer
Jayne spent 2014 and 2015 in residency at 40 Clarence Mews. She used the time to research ideas and themes that without the luxury of time could not really have been explored at length.
She engaged in an investigation of rhythm of words and text that cause and prompt movement and vice versa. She is drawn to how we read meaning through movement, particularly gesture, and how reading shifts when meaning is deliberately fractured.
In 2013 she collaborated with moving image artist, Sidonie Roberts, for Elegy (1), exhibited at Guest Projects, The Jerwood Gallery and Latitude Festival.
She graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance in 2012 with a Masters in Choreography.
