Since the company’s inception in 2011, Jessica Lang Dance has been devoted to enriching and inspiring global audiences by immersing them in the beauty of movement and music. The company’s diverse repertoire of original works, created by Bessie-Award winning artistic director Jessica Lang, embodies a genre-bending contemporary movement style that resists categorical definition.

The company has performed its repertoire of 25 unique works for audiences nationally and internationally in over 75 cities, 35 states and seven different countries. Jessica Lang Dance’s trajectory is strongly influenced by a commitment to artistic collaboration with such renowned artists as architect Steven Holl, costume designer Bradon McDonald, lighting designer Nicole Pearce and composer Jakub Ciupinski, as well as visual artist Shinichi Maruyama, among others.
Lang’s work has been commissioned by such notable organizations as Jacob’s Pillow, The Joyce Theater, Des Moines Performing Arts, The Chicago Architecture Biennial, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the National Symphony Orchestra, among others.
