“Change!”
It is the one word spoken throughout choreographer, dancer, and teacher Jennifer Muller’s iconic work Speeds, a dance celebrating joy rooted within virtuosic and pedestrian movements.
Where is the point of change? Muller would often incorporate this question into her technique classes to ask the dancers to clarify their internal awareness within each movement.
Amidst the constant changes of life (including losing friends, colleagues, and dancers during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s and ’90s), Muller remained fiercely devoted to dance. “No matter what will happen, this is my life,” Muller said in a 2018 interview. “Dance is what I do and I’ll keep doing it until I can’t do it anymore.”
