Jeanine Durning is an Alpert Award winning choreographer and performer whose work has been described by The New Yorker as having both “the potential for philosophical revelation and theatrical disaster.” She has been investigating the mobilizing and mutable force of bodies and grappling with their conditions in time, space, and place for over 25 years through experiments in choreography, performance, practice-based research, teaching, and mentoring. Jeanine’s ongoing project, nonstopping, has been the foundation for her embodied research since 2009. She’s performed her signature solo inging (based on her nonstop speaking practice) throughout Europe, across the US, and in Canada on and off since 2010. Jeanine has had the privilege to collaborate with many choreographers, including David Dorfman from 1993-2003, and Deborah Hay since 2005, working as performer, consultant, choreographic assistant, and coach. From 2020-2023, Jeanine worked as Rehearsal Director for Stockholm based contemporary dance company Cullberg, transmitting and touring the dance works of Deborah Hay and Swedish choreographer, Alma Söderberg. Jeanine has been invited to share some of her practices all over the world through teaching, mentoring/advising, and creating choreographies. Her most recent choreographic collaborations were with Candoco Dance Company (London), creating Last Shelter (2021), with Norrdans (Härnösand), creating Everlasting – a new love (2023), and with an independent group of stellar dance artists, creating The Invitation Situation (2023/24). In 2023, with the support of MANCC and The Melon Foundation, she collaborated with writer/editor Jenn Joy and designer Sherri Wasserman on a book project centered around Durning’s practice, nonstopping. Durning is currently working on two artist initiated commissions – one in the US and one in Sweden.
