The international dance community lost one of its great lights when Jennifer Muller passed on March 29, 2023. To acknowledge her creative force, her extraordinary contributions and her deeply felt absence, JMTW will present a celebration of Jennifer’s life and legacy at The Joyce Theater on November 6th, 2023. Friends, members of the dance community and generations of her company members will come together to honor Jennifer Muller with an evening of remembrances, historical footage and live performances.

In 1983, Jennifer told the New York Times “I’m not an abstractionist. A great deal of my work has a sense of celebration.”

We come together now to celebrate Jennifer, an artist who dedicated her life to her art, overcoming many obstacles along the way. She led with vision, perseverance and a steadfast belief in creativity as an essential aspect of human nature. Looking back on her countless contributions,

we celebrate her commitment to welcoming and connecting with a wide range of theatergoers, from newcomers to dance aficionados

we celebrate her immeasurable contributions to the lives of dancers – as performer, movement-maker, teacher, image-weaver and mentor to many

we celebrate her prolific outpouring of original, varied work, spanning more than five decades

we celebrate her extraordinary talents as performer, director, and choreographer

we celebrate her humor, her stubborn nature, her drama, her shared humanity

We celebrate her life and legacy.

This event is free to attend with RSVP. Join our family of dancers, alumni, collaborators, staff and friends as we remember and CELEBRATE our maverick of a leader, Jennifer Muller.

Address: The Joyce Theater, 175 Eighth Avenue (at 19th Street) New York, New York.

Doors Open: 7:00pm

Event: 7:30pm

The Celebration of Jennifer's Life will be immediately followed by a reception, location TBA.

JMTW is self-producing this Celebration of Life, and we are turning to new friends and long-time supporters for help. We ask for assistance as we take on the theater crew expenses, dancer fees, costs to present archival footage of Jennifer, as well as expenses to broadcast a video of the evening worldwide. 

Despite sizable production expenses, we aren't charging ticket fees to keep this event accessible for all of Jennifer's many friends and supporters. If you would like to help us, make a gift in honor of Jennifer.

JMTW will return to Alpha Omega's private outdoor gravel garden for a second program. Catch us live a second night as JMTW performs Attic!

Attic views a woman unearthing the detritus of a past love while sorting through boxes stored in an attic. Reminded of the harsh reality of her loneliness, she manages to reclaim her perspective by “letting go” of the relationship with compassion and renewed self-confidence. Attic represents a superior example of the personalized emotion-driven work unique to Jennifer Muller.

Join us for an evening of live concert dance in Alpha Omega's private outdoor gravel garden. Come support the company as we perform excerpts of JMTW's piece Island in-person!

Island is a collaboration with photographer Roberto Dutesco. Mr. Dutesco created haunting images of the horses on Sable Island—horses, abandoned by shipwrecks, that have existed on the island without human intervention or interference. Taking its cue from the social interaction and imagery of these wild horses and what they represent as an increasingly rare natural phenomenon, the piece is a peon to the contrast between a confined existence and an unfettered, untamed state of being.

Focused on a parallel between the wild horses confined to Sable Island in Nova Scotia as photographed by Roberto Dutesco and the response to the emotional experience of living in a Covid era, the piece echoes the sentiment of our times.

Dear friends and collectors,

It is our pleasure to invite you, a long-time friend and collector of Roberto's work, to the IAMWILD Foundation inaugural fundraising event. 25 years —a quarter century of exploration of the Wild Horses of Sable Island could fill the volumes of an encyclopedia. Roberto Dutesco’s voyages to Sable Island have produced the award-winning documentary Chasing Wild Horses (2009), seen by over 30 million people in 50 countries, two monumental sold-out books titled The Wild Horses of Sable Island and a dozen exhibitions around the world.

The IAMWILD Foundation was inspired by this journey. Please join us alongside Roberto for an intimate conversation about Sable Island, its band of wild horses and how his art and the IAMWILD Foundation platform of initiatives will care for their home, as well as our planet.

This event will take place on Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 6 pm. Join us for cocktails and a reception as well as enjoy JMTW’s pop-up performances of Mullers’ classic piece ‘Island.’
