Award-winning choreographer and performer Jeanine Durning discusses her practice Nonstopping’ with The Place’s Artist Associate, Ben Wright.

Jeanine has been developing ‘Nonstopping’ since 2009 as a compositional tool for making. It draws on a practice that The New Yorker described as holding “the potential for philosophical revelation and theatrical disaster.” Alongside choreographer, director and creative facilitator, Ben Wright, they will explore how sustained attention, faith in uncertainty, and a willingness to simply begin, even if imperfectly, might open up new possibilities for dance-making.

Jeanine is based on the East Coast of the United States so this will be an exciting opportunity for artists based in the UK and beyond to hear her speak about her work.

BSL interpretation by Sumayya Si-Tayeb and Samuel Rojas
