1995Jean's influences are diverse — from the stylized work of the Greeks to the postwar modernism and jazz of her own teachers and mentors, such as Alwin Nikolais and Jerome Robbins.
Quotations: "As an artist and educator, I feel it is my primary responsibility to share my work in theater, jazz dance and movement with other artists, teachers, students and those, who believe, that the healing of the human race and planet can happen through the contributions of the interdisciplinary arts. It is this need to share, that motivates me as a writer and artist."
Jean is a member of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education, American Dance Guild, Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, Institute for Noetic Sciences, Global Network for Spiritual Success, Theatre Communications Group, Positive Thinkers Club and others.
