The Jamison Project
In addition performing, Jamison wanted the opportunity to explore working with her own group of dancers. She began teaching master classes at Jacob’s Pillow in 1981 and soon began choreographing her own works. She later formed The Jamison Project with a group of dancers with a strong desire to work and learn. The Project premiered on November 15, 1988 at the Joyce Theater in New York City, performing works such as ‘’Divining’’, ‘’Time Out’’, and ‘’Tease’’. Jamison later invited guest choreographers, including Garth Fagan, to set work for the company.
