“Jess is a precious, valuable resource. She has been an integral part of our community for many years, blossoming in vision and force, while at the same time bringing a nuanced, authentic engagement of her work, herself and those she engages in her processes and performances. Jess rises as an example of how to be “in” the work, and also cares enough about her community to share her process, and to advocate for others. She is a citizen artist, through and through."

“Jessica Roseman’s work strikes at our common humanity...something that the world desperately needs. Humility, humor, and grace radiate through her choreography inviting audiences to explore the challenging territory of vulnerability with her. You feel safe as she guides you through the quagmire of contradictions woven into our skin, muscle, and bone. She reminds us that the courage required to make subtle movements leads to genuine connections.”

“I was quite touched by your work. I watched your piece three times and felt it more deeply with each viewing. As a parent, I was moved by your words and your movements. I was inspired by your honesty, and the depth of the experiences you were sharing. The piece is quite strong.”

"Let me start by saying your workshop has deeply influenced my new project Encarnar. I constantly do the heart massage, it bursts my emotional bubble and I usually cry. When I want to center myself or give grace to the energy that carries me, I do the massage. ¡Gracias infinitas for giving me that self-loving strategy!"

“...thank you for making this group possible. So far It’s been very insightful to hear others share, to connect and to simply have a safe space to be introspective. We spend so much of our days and our life being outside of ourselves. Our thoughts, feelings, desires, hopes and dreams start to become alien to us. I truly needed this to reconnect with me, to make space for to stretch physically and mentally; to allow myself to take precedence for time once”

“The whole night was filled with people in earlier stages of artistic development. When you finally came on stage, you brought an amazing reverent hush to the crowd. And because you were whispering everyone got still and silent, and it brought together the whole feeling of the show for me. For the first time in the whole night, I felt the powerful of what you did. You brought a really grounded and still energy. Your cool mysterious and beautiful orb brought a motherhood archetype in an incredibly vulnerable and powerful way at the same time. It felt emotional and made the whole night worth it and was a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much.”

“I appreciated having the time and space to just BE! Feeling my feet on the earth was so welcome.”

“I really appreciate the opportunity to see the farm through my 6 year old daughters’ eyes / bodies that are constantly moving and twirling. Experiencing NOURISH with my children rather than as guardian-only, or otherwise, was special and new for us. Thank you!”

“Jessica uses dance and bodywork as instruments to create agency for herself and others. As a witness to her passion, Jessica Roseman is best described as an empath; her essence and spirit are comforting; she’s easily relatable. Jessica’s performance art draws her audiences in with each movement and expression, releasing such pure, undisguised emotion that opens a space for her audiences to connect. Jessica Roseman is the person I would turn to for self-care guidance in culturally sustaining ways---through dance and movement and bodywork---without a doubt! “

“This class is giving me life!”

“At first, I was nervous to,show my movement but then I gave myself permisson to be seen as I love and take care of myself.”
