Jasmine Powell

Jasmine Powell, MFA, is a creative expressionist from Hillsborough, NC, whose career has led her to PHILADANCO, Dianne McIntyre, Milton Myers, Ronald K. Brown, Okwui Okpokwasili, Bill T. Jones, Justin Turnow, and Culture Mill all with social awareness and activism at its core to align with her artistry. She currently performs with KT COLLECTIVE Dance Company in Durham and serves as an Elon University Professor. Her personal mission and active artistry investigate the interrelation of conscious views to embody the diaspora, invoking a connection to source through a contemporary nature. Connecting to community, Jasmine's choreographic premieres, including Approximation of a Woman, have influenced performance theaters, conferences, film festivals, music videos, the Wake Forest Dance Festival, North Carolina Dance Festival, and recently the International Detroit Dance City Festival. Jasmine smiles at the opportunity to share work rooted in conceptual storytelling and is always relating to others through a creative expressionist lens.
