Fresh Waters

JenMarie premiered a new dance performance alongside the percussionist Lefteris Aggouridakis and singer Christiana Papaya in September 2024. The performance responds to the Greek city of Trikala where the residency is located. The city is named in tribute to Trikke, the daughter of the Peneus river god in ancient Greek mythology. JenMarie's dance focuses on the concept of fresh waters–a resource to be filled, emptied, shared–to connect the site of Trikala to an Afro-Brazilian dance tradition honoring Oxum, the Candomblé deity of water and love.
