The MJDC bids farewell to company member Steffany Ferroni. In Margaret Jenkins' own words: "Steffany's power, grace, clarity and abandon were her signature qualities during her tenure with the MJDC from 2005-2013. As a contributor to the collaborative process and as a person within the company of makers, she contributed remarkable wisdom and an unique sensitivity that were critical to the development of the work. As a performer she had both strength and a gentle demeanor that drew one in, made one pay attention and care. She will be greatly missed, but we will feel her in the work and in the room for a long while." Watch a video of Steffany dancing here.
