If you've ever fantasized about signing up as a contestant on a mass-culture-pop TV dance show, here's your chance to discover what daring, imaginative dance is all about.

Come join Margaret Jenkins and her company during one of her company's fall rehearsals, as they prepare for their tour of India. You and a guest will win a chance to attend a rehearsal, meet the dancers, and have a private session with the company. To top it all off, you will have the opportunity to dance with this remarkable, inclusive company.

One of the great innovators of modern dance, for more than 40 years Margaret Jenkins has graced America's theatres and studios as a choreographer, dance teacher, mentor, and designer of unique community-based dance projects.

With a generosity of spirit all to rare in the rarified world of dance, throughout her career Jenkins has pioneered the participation of unconventional bodies in her dances. Taking a daring, interdisciplinary approach, she has also sought the talents of gifted collaborators from the visual, performing, and literary arts, including Yoko Ono, Bruce Nauman, Terry Allen, John Sanborn, Rinde Eckert, Maryann Amache, Paul Dresher, the Kronos Quartet, and, preeminently, poet Michael Palmer.

Jenkins began her early training in San Francisco; in the sixties, she moved to New York to study at the Juilliard School of Music with José Limon and Martha Graham, later dancing for Jack Moore, Viola Farber, Judy Dunn, James Cunningham, Gus Solomons, and in Twyla Tharp's original company. For about ten years, Jenkins toured extensively with Twyla Tharp and Sara Rudner, the Viola Farber Dance Company, and performed on a weekly basis at New York's Dance Theater Workshop. In addition, for twelve years Jenkins was a member of the faculty of the Merce Cunningham Studio.
