Jordana Che Toback BIO
Jordana Che Toback is a choreographer, director and dancer whose work and collaborations span genre: from classicist whimsy, to feminist funk, to sensual post modernism. A California native, Toback began her choreographic tutelage as a teenager under the guidance of modern dance legend, Bella Lewitzky. After graduating from the NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA (where she was almost got kicked out for the sin of choreographing to rock music!) she joined the Mark Morris Dance Group, touring internationally with the visionary enfant terrible from Brooklyn, to Brussels, to East Asia.
From there Toback went on to establish her own choreographic vision via a landmark collaboration with electronica sensation Fischerspooner, where she created the signature cabaret disco dance style that would help catapult them from the NYC art scene to Capitol Records, Ibiza and beyond. She’s since staged her own POON Productions ensemble dance-theater pieces, as well as her NEA grant awarded solo triptych at PS122, HERE, FringeNYC, and more. She’s been commissioned to choreograph productions for Lincoln Center, Harvard’s A.R.T, NYU, Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor’s Island, and St. Anne’s Warehouse, many of which received Bessies, Obies, etc.. She’s worked with influential directors like Michel Gondry, Leslie Dektor and Wayne Wang, photographers Terry Richardson, Juergen Teller and Todd Eberle, and pop stars like CeeLo Green. And along the way her POON Productions has choreographed events for everything from DJ Danny Tenaglia's 50th Birthday celebration at Broadway's Best Buy Theatre, to Patricia Field's Valentines Day Ball, and Brooklyn's Pier 5 for Mayor Bloomberg.
Toback recently moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, where she now resides with her husband/collaborator Tom Rossi, their daughter Una, and their troupe of beautiful but dance-free cats
