Production Details

Ovid wrote his version of the Medusa myth more than 2,000 years ago. What will happen if we tear up his pages, then turn those fragments into our own dance? In Written By Our Bones, Jessica Fudim guides a process of retelling the Medusa myth through movement explorations. Participants of all levels are welcome at this two-hour workshop that plays with movement invention and the malleability of authorship.

​Jessica has been creating and performing dance-theater work for more than two decades throughout her native Bay Area and beyond, both as a solo artist and with her ensemble company, The Dance Animals. She is the current Resident Dance Artist at the Sonoma Community Center and a past resident artist of The Voice Factory SF and the Workspace for Choreographers in Virginia. Her solo, “Sheepish”, received a "Best of the SF Fringe" honor and she captained an award-winning musical contingent in the San Francisco Pride Parade. Jessica was a Co-Director of The Experimental Performance Institute (EPI) at New College of California and, with the late Dwayne Calizo, she co-produced the multi-media performance series “Crash Cabaret: Where Queers Collide” at San Francisco’s Roxie Theatre. She has also performed with Erika Chong Shuch and as half of the pop-punk duo, Dreamboat, Where Are You?, with Carrie Love. In addition to performing, Jessica leads movement workshops and classes for both children and adults.
