JoDee Allen is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of technology and the body. Her roots begin in biomechanics and choreographic practice in breakdance and contemporary performance/fusion, and span into visual and interactive mediums that let her interrogate the body in motion from new angles. Her collaborative choreographic work has toured Canada and Europe, and she has brought her movement expertise to dance-inspired video games as a designer.
In 2021, JoDee joined choreographer Katie Ward’s hybrid live-streamed performance Dream Room as visual designer, remixing live camera feeds and large-scale projections in real-time. In 2023, she produced and served as lead designer for The Other Market, a game-like participatory performance staged in Montreal and London, working alongside a team to bring the project to life.
Most recently, JoDee’s solo projects dive into gesture, play, and immersive storytelling: VR Slow Dance (a work-in-progress), Jingle Jigsaw VR (presented at Montreal’s art-game arcade Ludodrome in 2025), and her upcoming piece Tether, which explores themes of family connection and loss.
Across these projects, JoDee continues to explore how gesture, play, and technology can open up new forms of embodied expression.
