Choreographer and Dancer Jennifer Meek has begun working with the students of Moving Arts Dance Studio in Concord, CA on her work in progress titled "Sleeping Palms". The extraordinary students who are trained extensively in modern, improvisation, and contemporary partnering will be assisting her in creating images of a community or crowd of people.

“Sleeping Palms” began from an inspiring experience performing at the TED conference in Long Beach, CA in Feb. 2009. The conference brings together many brilliant minds from all over the world to share ideas, innovations, and technologies with the hopes of helping others. For me, this concept seems to have great relevance for our national situation today.
