Monique Jenkinson
"devilishly precise" – Dance Magazine
"campy, intellectual juxtaposition of pop culture and high art" – San Francisco Magazine
"revelatory and inspirational … a must-see because of her techni¬cal excellence, ability to create beauty, and rare personable flair for drama."
– SFBG

Monique Jenkinson is a multifaceted performing artist whose work hurls itself into the gaps between dance, theater, drag and performance art. She has been called ‘hilarious’ with an ‘intellectual spark’ and ‘enough to make a girl want to revisit her Susan Sontag.’ She has created and performed locally and internationally at ODC Theater, CounterPULSE, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the de Young Museum, and Trannyshack in San Francisco; Danspace Project, the New Museum, Howl Festival, Vandam and the Stonewall in New York; the Met Theatre in Los Angeles; the Coachella music festival; and in Reykjavik, Amsterdam and London.

Jenkinson engages in constant, critical examination of the intersections and differences between her nightclub-going and theater/dance-based audiences. She sees her relationship with them as a realm of ‘outness,’ from which she strives to invite, reveal and communicate: to acknowledge the shared experience between performer and observer.’
