Jen Passios & Jacob Regan

Driven by a spirit of nomadism and chance, Jen Passios and Jacob Regan (J&J) have spent the last 8 years engaged in a 24/7 life collaboration. Honing in on the realities of everyday existence, the pair focuses on creating situations for partnership through teaching, performance, writing, travel, and choreography. With shared backgrounds in Contact Improvisation and contemporary dance, Jen and Jacob work and live from standpoints of immediacy, trust, co-authorship, and mutual allowance. They have performed and taught together across four time zones, including notable engagements at the Boulder International Fringe Festival, Barnstorm Dance Fest, National Dance Education Organization’s 2024 National Conference, Contact Improv Boston’s Fall Jam, Texas Dance Improvisation Festival (TDIF), Midwest RADFest, and Sam Houston State University where both artists received their MFAs in Dance.
