Nina McNeely talks with JigTV.com about Contemporary Dance

April 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Nina McNeely is a unique presence among the choreographers on JigTV.com. Born in Austin, Texas and trained in Denver, Colorado, she's been pursuing choreography for two years. As part of JigTV.com's series of choreographer interviews, Nina tells host Chelsea Latimer that she's inspired by art of all stripes. Among her favorites are visual art, museums, fashion, her artist peers, and street artists. McNeely also makes special mention of the films of Federico Fellini, which she says are very movement based. In addition to dance, Nina also makes short films and dance films as well as clothing.

This interest in multimedia art influences much of Nina's work. She's choreographed "Effigy" for the Walk of Hands Pre-Show, "Lusty" at Las Palmas, and "the Fools He Left Here" at the Fusion Choreographers' Showcase. Nina has also performed with Dee Caspary's dance company and has taught and choreographed at dance studios all over the country. Currently she is a member of the often edgy Hysterica Dance Company in Los Angeles. Nina McNeely also performs with the almost indescribable "We Are The World". Not a band, not a dance company, they prefer to be called "an outfit". The four piece multimedia troupe compose and perform their own music, do all their own choreography, make their own film and costumes, and put on theatrical performances unlike anything many audiences have seen.

Nina translates this effortless merging of multimedia art with movement and dance to students of contemporary dance in streaming classes available to members of JigTV.com, the online dance community. It's rare for aspiring choreographers to have such inside access to a dancer like Nina McNeely, and JigTV.com provides just that opportunity at its website.
