My Interests

one day at a time...
You Are Disturbingly Profound
You're contemplative, thoughtful, and very intense.
Taking time to figure out the meaning of life is a priority for you.
Because you're so introspective, you often react in ways that surprise people.
No one can really understand how you are on the inside... and that disturbs them. Are You Disturbingly Profound or Profoundly Disturbing? Dance Review: "Feel Something Foreal Art Company Phoenix TheatreFour and a half starsPrepare yourself for a multimedia performing arts experience both ntellectually stimulating and technically dazzling. Well-muscled Jennifer K. Sutton offers 30 minutes of acrobatic dancing, lit like a dream, and inspired by Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet. Sutton, with a silver ladder as her partner, creates a confident, dynamic meditation on risk and exaltation. The other half of the show is an equally poetic film by Jason Carr featuring Sutton against the Indianapolis skyline moving in the shadows of language and industrial settings to music box music. Foreal’s dedication to exchanging ideas with the audience and making space for real-time reflection is fresh and refreshing. The crowd was left breathless. —AL" Source: http://www.nuvo.net/article.php?title=indyfringe_2006

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy conversations with diverse individuals. Pursuit of mind body spirit holistic approaches..."Mental Health Problems and Mind-Body Wellness - Mind-Body Wellness The mind-body connectionMedical science is making remarkable discoveries about the relationship between your state of mind and your mental and physical health. Researchers have found that one function of the brain is to produce substances that can improve your health. Your brain can create endorphins, which are natural painkillers; gamma globulin for fortifying your immune system; and interferon for combating infections, viruses, and even cancer. Your brain can combine these and other substances into a vast number of tailor-made prescriptions for whatever ails you.The substances that your brain produces depend in part on your thoughts, feelings, and expectations. If your attitude about an illness (or life in general) is negative and you don't have expectations that your condition will get better, your brain may not produce enough of the substances your body needs to heal. On the other hand, if your attitude and expectations are more positive, your brain is likely to produce sufficient amounts of the substances that will boost your body's healing power.Your physical health also has an impact on your brain's ability to produce substances that affect your mental well-being. An illness or injury that causes long-term physical stress can lead to chemical imbalances in the brain. These imbalances may lead to depression and other mental health problems."

Music:

lots of it. I particularly enjoy being around, and generally listening to, music makers that I know.

Movies:

many... artistic, movies that say something. Ex/ Peaceful Warrior, Science of Sleep, Dangerous Beauty, Moulin Rouge, The Illusionist, Step Up (aside that it leaves out what happens next)... "Confusion" live performance: 2005, some of my former students and I Creating/ Performing in Art Film clip from film only: "Confusion" 2005 JKS "Foreal Art Company Jennifer Sutton, Foreal Art CompanyWhen Jennifer Sutton returned to Indianapolis from London, where she received her MA in dance performance from the Laban academy, as she puts it: “I really wasn’t sure what I was going to do.”But the North Central graduate was churning with ideas for a multimedia project that would speak to her contemporaries — and to the kids following in their footsteps. “I’ve always wanted to do something incorporating my peers and my friends from high school,” Sutton says. “They’re all very diverse and doing different things.”Sutton decided to travel across the country, filming her cohorts in their various occupations. The film would then become part of a live dance and spoken word performance that Sutton calls Confusion.This hour-long production is geared to “anyone and everyone” Sutton says. But it is also intended to give high school students “hope and direction.” Sutton explains, “Most of my closest friends are from high school. I want to reach that age group and bridge some of that age gap and give them something they can connect to.”Sutton grew up in the Indianapolis dance scene, performing with Gregory Hancock, Theater of Inclusion, Butler University and Ballet Internationale. “I’m very familiar with the Indianapolis dance scene,” she says, “and I’m glad to bring something new to that.” By something new, Sutton means “a contemporary dance element … I learned a lot about movement for movement’s sake in England. There’s not a lot of that here yet.”In addition to movement, Confusion will feature film, original music and visual art. “Confusion is a universal theme,” Sutton says. “It happens to everyone. If you leave confused, that’s OK. If it makes you want to come back and see it again, that’s great.” —DH http://www.nuvo.net/articles/article_4521/

Television:

varies, or perhaps I should say not that often. ok, but when i do watch it i do actually enjoy watching reality shows, because they're "real" people... most of whom are getting their first taste of "fame"

Books:

varies on my mood.
