Jenna Hubbard and Adele Keeley are both Senior Lecturers at the Arts University Bournemouth (AUB), U.K. where their interest in movement and drawing complement their research and performance practice.

 

Jenna is a dance artist with an interest in community practice and site-specific performance. Adele is a costume designer who works with the motifs from the natural environment to developed textiles and organic silhouettes. Together as part of #creativejamensemble they have been practising creative improvisation ‘jamming’ since 2018, running artist-focused, public-facing and student workshops both nationally and internationally.

 

During the pandemic, which forced remote working and collaboration, they moved studio-based improvisation workshops online. On-site encounters shifted from performance spaces to home environments, where multiple spaces were simultaneously connected using technology. Moving back into the studios the in-person experience recentralised the physicality of movement with the materiality of scenography; these two themes continue to be at the heart of their work.
