Understood series) Choreographic Direction and Performance by jhon r. stronks Biographies Jasmine Hearn is a native Houstonian, graduated from Point Park University with her B.A. in Dance. She currently lives in Pittsburgh. Jasmine currently moves with the Staycee Pearl dance project (PGH), Marjani Forte (NYC) and anonymous bodies (PHIL). Her choreography has premiered in the Pittsburgh area.   jhon r. stronks is often accused of presenting his audiences with seemingly disobedient work that behaves according to its own sanity. Stronks' 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.
