ARTIST STATEMENT My performance making is concerned with the voice of the dancing body intersecting art ritual with ecology, identity, spirituality and collective memory. Exploring the sonic and motion biorhythms of cognitive embodiment - the brain in the body in nature - my performances and their traces evoke themes of power, transformation, shadow, reflection and energetic exchange. www.jadedewi.com AWARDS / GRANTS 2016 Individual Artist Grant Arts NSW 2015 Arts projects Grant Australia Council for the Arts 2013 ArtStart Grant Australia Council for the Arts 2013 Shortlisted for Outstanding Independent Dance Australian Dance Awards 2013 Quick Response Grant Arts NSW 2012 Facets Choreography Residency India Critical Path, Arts NSW 2012 Best Dance Award Melbourne Fringe Festival 2012 New Work -
