teaching this workshop at Cleveland Dance Festival was an absolute blast! Thank you @themovementproject for inviting me and @elliotreza for the amazing shots
Welcome back to our friends @organi_city as a featured company Saturday, January 10th at 2pm.
The company's work entitled "Reanimation" is a story between two exceptional characters who are discovering each other for the first time within a surreal world. The two go on a journey of discovery as they realize how they’re connected, as one dancer reanimates the other. Will they figure out who they are, what they represent and what it means to be alive?
Join us for this journey at Ball Performing Arts Center @mclennancommunitycollege !

So grateful to have taught this class at Texas State University! What made it even more special was that it turned into an all-girls class . We danced, bonded, and had such beautiful conversations. The energy, openness, and sisterhood in that room were everything.
Thank you @txstdance@jaywanism for having me ,can’t wait to come back and share more movement, love, and house vibes with you all! 🪩💫

Meet the Artists ✨
ORGANI CITY was born to create visual sociopolitical, cultural, emotional and ancestral discourse that subverts hierarchies from our experiences in the world. Through the human body as our primary artistic medium, we create, play, explore, nurture and challenge each other. We emphasize creation through play, ambiguity, experimentation and serendipity. Jonathan “JayWAN” Pattiwael is an Indonesian immigrant dancer, teacher, and choreographer who creates cross disciplinary performances by remixing their artistic practice in breaking, hip-hop, house, indigenous dances, experimental theatre and contemporary forms to reinforce our place in the world and subvert the social order. Born and raised in Indonesia, JayWAN lives in multiple artistic worlds that reflect the negotiation of their authentic identity as a 21st century US immigrant. From 2019 to 2023 JayWAN served as Hip-Hop lecturer at the University of Dayton and resident artist at Dayton Contemporary Dance Company before moving to Texas. JayWAN has completed 7 evening length choreographic works, 22 performances, a film, and 11 guest artist residencies spanning 10 US States and 8 countries. JayWAN’s work has been sought by the Ohio Dance Festival, REST Fest, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, Fayetteville Movement Festival, Festival Entrelaçados, the Nordic Fringe Network and TicTac Art Centre Belgium.
