J Neve Harrington is currently working with Scottish Dance Theatre choreographing a response to the Up-Sticks comission by Gramazio Kohler Research as part of the V&A Dundee's Hello, Robot exhibition.
Harrington is a choreographer, performer and writer born in Canterbury, UK. She holds an MA (Book Arts) from University of the Arts, London (2011) and a BA (Hons) in Dance Theatre from Laban (2006). Janine is interested in game structures, play, access, neurodiversity and the poetics of movement practices. Her recent work, the kaleidoscopic Screensaver Series (premiered at Dance Umbrella, 2018) foregrounds these interests and is currently touring with collaborating dance artists Elisa Vassena, Vanessa Abreu, Louise Tanoto, Stella Papi, Iris Chan, Stephanie McMann and sound artist Jamie Forth.
Her practice is underpinned by research focused on developing interactive, participative and poetic movement experiences. She has honed her practice alongside performing in gallery and museum contexts across Europe, teaching, writing and advocating around neurodiversity. In 2019 Janine is Align associate artist with South East Dance and Re-Search artist with Dance Umbrella/ Middlesex ResCen Network. She was twice recipient of the DanceWEB scholarship to ImPulsTanz Vienna (2013/16) and received a scholarship to Banff Centre Canada to work with Liz Lerman and Ruth Little exploring dramaturgy for dance.
