About the Author

Jennifer Monson is an American dancer and choreographer. She has been actively creating dance work since the 1980s. She works with dance improvisation and creates choreography that seems improvised. Monson grew up in southern California and, at one point, wanted to be a park ranger. In 2000 Monson received the Creative Capital Performing Arts Award.

In 2004, Monson incorporated under the name iLAND — Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Art, Nature, and Dance.
