Both Bessie Award-winning performers and former Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company dancers (2009-2014), Jennifer Nugent and Paul Matteson are known for their phenomenal partnering work, creating duets that are intense, forceful, and passionate. Their duet, another piece apart, reflects on a history of a fractured togetherness and blurred boundaries.

They danced together with David Dorfman Dance, Lisa Race Project and the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company. They have taught at numerous festivals including The Bates Dance Festival, The American Dance Festival, and SALT Dance Fest. Jennifer is currently on faculty at Sarah Lawrence College and regularly teaches in NYC at Gibney Studios and through Movement Research. Paul is full-time faculty at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Their latest duet, another piece apart will premiere in October at New York Live Arts before coming to The Dance Complex
