Two Twelve

Jodie Randolph Dance (founded in 2012) is a professional contemporary dance company based in southeast, MI under the direction of choreographer Jodie Randolph. Jodie's creative work navigates the complexities of the human experience and dares to contend with the unknown. Her organic approach to movement is rooted in vigor, receptivity, and instinct.Comprised of highly-trained professional dancers, the company presents full length productions both locally, nationally, and internationally. JRD offers seminars, workshops, master classes, intensives, residencies, open rehearsals, pre/post performance discussions and a growing list of community outreach programs.The company produced four repertory concerts from 2014 until 2017. JRD’s first evening length work premiered in 2016 titled a{wake} which continues to tour and perform in non-conventional and informal spaces.  In 2019, JRD premiered it’s second evening length concert, Two Twelve, which is a continuation of Jodie Randolph’s MFA thesis titled Paralleled Dissonance which was presented in 2018.​JRD has toured throughout the country engaging in performances, master classes, and workshops. In 2018, JRD embarked on its first international tour to the Dominican Republic. There, the company was invited to teach master classes at Escuela Nacionale de Danza (ENDANZA), engage in a creative residency, and present an excerpt of Two Twelve ​at EDANCO, DR's esteemed dance festival.By bringing dance to Michigan through performance and education, JRD has repeatedly found unique ways to increase accessibility to the art of dance and employ dance artists.

<DIV CLASS="paragraph">Two Twelve is the final installation of a three-year performance project by Choreographer Jodie Randolph. </DIV>
The work questions the undeniable tensions in our world through the subject of interpersonal conflict. Innate opposition becomes the source of investigation, offering a deep reflection of the polarity within ourselves. Our complicated need for human connection is countered by the wars that ensue between nations, between people, and ultimately within. ​A contrast between the individual versus the collective, this work explores themes of dependence, individuality, and manipulation set in motion by a series of reactions that reach for a tipping point and question the boundary between self and other.
