ABOUT THE PROJECT
'Laugh Track' is an upbeat mixed bill show produced by Jessy Zizzo and Eliza Malecki featuring Boston area dancers and comedians contemplating the absurdities of life. This interdisciplinary show will highlight deep, vital parts of the human experience such as getting weird texts from your grandma, how to treat your waiter with respect, and the audacity of beating a dead horse. Made possible by partnering with Cambridge non-profit, Green Street Studios, 'Laugh Track' took place on October 25 - 26, 2019 at 8 pm.

She received her BA in Dance Studies and her BS in Environmental Policy from the University of South Florida in December of 2016. Jessy grew up outside of Chicago and moved to Florida for school.

During her time at the University of South Florida she performed in works by Ohad Naharin, Michael Foley, Andy Scott, Jeanne Travers, and John Parks.
Currently she resides in Boston, Massachusetts and is focused on environment, context, the constant changing of weight, points of initiation, and injecting elements of humor and comedy into her work. She has researched these various tools via her work on the University of South Florida and the Tampa City Ballet through their Emerging Choreographers Award. Right now she is a company member with Natalie Johnson Dance, VLA Dance, and Ruckus Dance. |
