Bodies never lie.”
Bodies Never Lie dance company harnesses the power of written words to evoke movement, drawing from research, mythology, poems, and personal narrative to create danceworks.
Our mission is to teach and showcase physical mastery to give others the freedom and language to tell stories of their own choosing.
Jess Ruhlin, the creator and creative director of Bodies Never Lie, is a contemporary ballet performer, writer, and neuroscience investigator, who defied the stereotype that individuals with diabetes cannot excel in the ballet world.
