JODI NETZER: Dance/Theatre

Combining improvisational dance and physical theater including Contact Improv and Butoh ("Zen Dancing"), authentic movement, clown, imagery, creative writing, plus other fun and meaningful "tools in the toolbox" to:

• Creatively express yourself
• Relieve stress adn elevate energy
• Expand perception and opportunities
• Identify and overcome subconsious habits
• Connect with community through creative experiences

One of Jodi's earliest iterations of her improvisational "Butoh Clown," in "Earthquakes" during the 2006 Philadelphia Fringe Festival:

Jodi was asked to audition by the popular TV show America's Got Talent (AGT). This video was created quickly and submitted late due to the deadline being too close to The Water Festival that Jodi coordinated, but AGT liked it and invited her to audition anytime:

THE TIPPING POINT, Performance and Public Forum: Inspired by Malcolm Gladwell’s bestseller book, “The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference”, in addition to John Zerzan’s “The Psychology of Mass Misery”, this collaborative multi-dimensional performance and public forum demystified the process of creating successfully fun environmental, cultural, political, and highly-spirited movements.

This empowering event focused on the formation and nurturing of a critical mass with a rippling-effect towards positive change. The ideas that arose from the public forums were collected and then later redistributed the audiences from both performances.

THE PALIN DOCTRINE: Written and performed the day before the 2008 elections, here is an impersonation of VP candidate Sarah Palin. Stay tuned for "Palin for 2012"...

EARTHQUAKES: A participatory performance piece, developed through a workshop series about consumerism, fear, and interconnectivity. The Trash 'n' Fashion Show, MC'ed by Jelly the Roach, is crashed by the Quake performed by Jodi. The Trash 'n' Fashion Show characters are Environmental Destruction, GMO Food & Drugs, Psychological Manipulation, and War & Violence. "Shop 'til ya drop dead!!"

UTOPIA/DYSTOPIA: Epic performance where Shamans of the 4 Elements battle Politics, Media, Military, and the Parasite of Fear, a 6-headed puppet (Greed, Pride, Control, Anger, Depression, Apathy). Featured in the 5th Annual Philadelphia Earth Charter Community Summit, sponsored by Alliance for a Sustainable Future.

SOLITARILY CONFINED: Locked in an 8ft. box with peepholes for three days straight, this installation performance is a metaphor of the human condition, including the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual boxes we place ourselves into and are imposed upon us.
