Jorgie Ingram is a disabled writer, artist, and executive assistant currently based in New Hampshire, where she was born & raised. She is unfolding new ways of being, making, and living, being newly disabled by chronic illness.
Before becoming disabled, Jorgie worked as a professional dancer in New York City and was a practicing photographer, primarily capturing portraits and performance. She is an alumna of The University of The Arts, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with her BFA in Dance, with a minor in Creative Writing. While there, Jorgie was invited to work with Jocelyn Cottencin & Emmanuelle Huynh, learning their work Monumental, performed at CAMPING at the Centre National de la Danse in Paris, France.

Jorgie translated her research in mindfulness and slow listening into workshops, writings, practices, and performances. She presented her work at the Thinking Making Doing Salon at the University of the Arts, the CND, The MAAS Building, Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers Inhale Performance Series, WAXWorks at Triskelion Arts, and the Southern Vermont Dance Festival. Jorgie’s performance photography has been featured in LOOSENART’s group exhibition in Rome, VISIONS OF SOUND: Noises, Rhythms, and Acoustic Ambients; her writing has been featured in The Philadelphia Dance Journal, where she contributed as a dance reviewer.

Jorgie has been invited to perform with Jungwoong Kim & collaborators at Studio 34 in Philadelphia, in Jungwoong’s improvisation score, improvising home, has worked as a guest artist with Eva Dean Dance Company and Petra Zanki, has worked in-process with Daria Faïn, and has acted as a design correspondent, process photographer, and cinematographer for Jason Vu’s multimedia dance work, THROUGH NOISE, commissioned by The Asian Arts Initiative. She has most recently worked as a dancer and collaborator with Kinesis Project dance theatre in New York City. There, she was also one of the faces of Dove’s “Free The Pits” ad campaign.
As an executive/personal assistant and project manager, Jorgie’s work prioritizes sustainability and creatively thinking through solutions. Scheduling and task management are choreographic, as is working to understand goals and direct us their way. She has worked in assistant roles for individuals and businesses: managing calendars, organizing and managing tasks, conducting research, facilitating applications for grants and awards, managing gifting, generating ideas, creating + curating media, and much more. She currently works as an executive assistant for the design studio, ROOM FOR MAGIC.
In her work, Jorgie works to move slowly and intentionally, finding ways to make the possibilities just over the horizon visible.
Her interests lie in projects that use slow, intentional consideration, magical realism, considerate communication, and a deep desire towards research rooted in the imagination, the body, and the possibilities that live within both; while advocating for disability justice & accommodation.
