JENNIFER KELLER is an American educator, choreographer, and performer. Her work is inspired by collaborative practices, improvisation, contemporary partnering, and interactive technology. Her first film experiments and live performances in the late 1990’s explored the spherical nature of Contact Improvisation and a curiosity to share the dancer’s point of view via live projection. Jennifer has been making short dance films since 2014, exploring composition within the frame and the relational possibilities between subjects and the camera. Jennifer has screened films in North and South America, Europe, and East Asia; and has served as cinematographer for four films under the direction of Marta Renzi. Jennifer teaches on the faculty of Slippery Rock University, where she chairs the Department of Dance. In 1997, she served as a co-curator for CI25 at Oberlin College. In 2022, she returned to Oberlin to serve as a panelist for a contemporary film festival “Critical Mass: CI@50” that celebrated the intersection of Contact Improvisation and film.
