Jhon R. Stronks
ARTIST BIO
Jhon R. Stronks was one of Houston Press’s 2014 Houston Master Minds and holds additional honors in the Houston Press Best of 2013 in the Contemporary/Modern Dance Categories. He is a dance maker whose passion for giving address to the gaps between what is perceived and what is present, lands his work somewhere between a cry for personal consciousness and a plea for social justice. Jhon’s choreography combines the fundamental elements of composition and choreography, with a convergence of movement styles and techniques drawn from his personal movement foundation. Stronks alternative dance making systems result is the creation of an open space for the dancing to inhabit, where the context is clear; the eye has choices, and the viewer gets to decide.
