Contact Improvisation

Joy's bio here.

I am a facilitator, trainer, theatre artist and nonprofit administrator convinced that the privileges i was born with give me responsibility to make my community and world a better place. Since breakdancing on the playground in fifth grade, i keep rediscovering a love of dance, theatre and music, while developing a professional and academic life in international development and conflict resolution.

The Jubilee Troupe has explored, performed and elicited improvisational performances, workshops and worship pieces for churches, community groups and colleges across the United States. Specializing in integrating new (and old) forms of embodied improvisational arts with sacred ritual and peacemaking practice, troupe training has drawn on Playback Theater, Contact Improvisation, Theater of the Oppressed, Interplay and other forms to fuse creative arts, spiritual practice and community transformation.
