Research

Slow Motion Research explores the creative and choreographic possibilities of filming movement at extremely high frame rates. Through experimentation with slow-motion capture, Jennifer investigates how the camera can reveal details of movement, timing, expression, and physicality that are often imperceptible to the human eye. This ongoing research examines the intersection of dance, technology, and cinematic storytelling, using slowed time to uncover new perspectives on how movement is experienced, observed, and understood.

After being introduced to Christian Robinson in 2018, Jennifer began an ongoing collaboration exploring the use of ultra-high-speed cinematography in dance. Their work has included self- modeling research in educational settings, using slow-motion video to help dancers analyze and refine body placement, as well as creative projects incorporating slow-motion imagery into live performance. Their collaborations include multiple stage productions featuring integrated projection design and a dance film centered on the expressive possibilities of extreme slow- motion movement capture.
