The Jury (2008/2010)

The Jury. Based on OLA co-artistic director Jennifer Ilse¹s experience serving as a juror on a murder trial, The Jury unravels the tangled fabric of a young woman¹s violent past to judge her innocence or guilt for a charge of murder. Performed by a powerful cast of dancers and actors immersed in a visual world of fabric and sculpture, The Jury is our search for the balance between social and individual responsibility for our young women and men who use and experience violence as part of their daily lives. The Jury is born from the hope that we each have the power to make real change in our community.
