Jessica Bonenfant, who earned her MFA in Dance at U-M in 2013, is the founder and director of Greywood Arts in County Cork, Ireland. She will talk about her career, which spans community engagement, performance, arts administration, creative projects, roles in academia, and more.

Bonenfant's path illuminates how a career in arts can be built, and exists as a counterweight to the persistent push of the expectations to be a gig artist with a company contract. This may be of particular interest for our students and others interested in entrepreneurship.

This event will be held in The Berg Studio (Studio 2) in the Dance Building.
