JoDee Allen’s art practice ranges from dance-on-stage to dance-on-screen. Her roots begin in biomechanics and choreographic practice in breakdance and contemporary performance/fusion, and span to using visual and interactive mediums as a lens through which to interrogate the body in motion.
Her choreographic work has toured Canada and Europe and she has been a movement designer for the production of dance-inspired video games and research. In 2021, JoDee collaborated with choreographer Katie Ward to design a hybrid show—live streaming/live performance with large-scale projections for which she remixed the visuals in real-time. And, in 2023, she produced and was lead-designer for a game-like participatory performance called The Other Market (Montreal), soon to be remounted in London, UK.
JoDee is a PhD Candidate in the Humanities research/creation program at Concordia University. Her doctoral research is entitled: Choreographic Echos: Animation, Archives and Female Movement in Videogames.
