Jocelyn Edelstein

I am a Portland raised dancer, writer and filmmaker who received my undergraduate education in dance, cultural studies and film from Fairhaven college and Western Washington University.
I have spent extensive time in Brazil, primarily in Rio de Janeiro, where I studied and taught dance, and directed the feature length documentary, Believe The Beat, co-produced by Social Construct Films.
In 2007, I created the Urban Body Project, a company that focuses on exploring the relationship between dance, culture and community through multi-media platforms.
I currently dance and choreograph in Portland, write for various publications and am completing post-production on Believe The Beat.
