Jeffrey Duval is from Fargo, North Dakota and received his BFA from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, where he discovered modern dance. He has danced with many choreographers including Shawn McConneloug and her Orchestra where he toured and performed in Japan, Central America, and throughout the United States.

Kevin Ho started dancing on the ice as a figure skater at age 12 but soon found the floor to be a much more forgiving and engaging partner. Born originally in New York City, Kevin had the wonderful privilege of growing up around the world in such energetic spaces as Shanghai, Madrid, Seoul, Taipei, and San Francisco. After graduation from the University of California, San Diego with an HONORS in contemporary dance, he went on to choreograph throughout Southern California, eventually earning him the 2007 Stewart Prize in Choreography as well as the 2006 ArtsBridge America Scholarship for arts-community outreach. This global experience gave rise to a political consciousness that continues to inspire and speak stories of resistance to him wherever he dances. From pointe shoes to wrestling singlets, Martial Arts, American Sign Language and eventually Contact Improvisation and gymnastics, Kevin is deeply committed to the daily discipline of movement engagement & performance research specifically in the mediums of improvisation and academic scholarship. Since his re-arrival to this invigorating city of New York in early 2008, he has continued his quest into dancing outside of judgement, inside of trust, whilst enveloped by joy & integrity. He joined Tiffany Mills Company in 2010.

Petra van Noort is a native of The Netherlands. She studied ballet at Dansacademie Brabant (BA) and modern dance at Rotterdam Dance Academy. She first came to New York with a VSB grant in 1994. She then danced in Holland for several inspiring artists, most notably Wies Merkx and Herman van Veen. The search and desire to dance for a company with a theatrical nature led her to move to NYC in 1997 to join Jennifer Muller/ THE WORKS. This journey continued when she joined Susan Marshall & Company in 2000. Since 2004 she is also a member of the Tiffany Mills Company where she gratefully enjoys participating in the unique TMC adventures of creation through improvisational exploration. In 2010 she joined Jane Comfort and Company as well. In NYC she has further had the pleasure dancing for Isabel Gotzkowsky and Friends, Company Rindfleisch/ Elke Rindfleisch and Leda Meredith amongst others. Petra has taught technique, repertory and creative performance classes for Susan Marshall & Company, Tiffany Mills Company, Jennifer Muller/ THE WORKS and for Dansend Hart (NL), in company classes and as part of workshops and touring residency activities. Her faith in 'the powers of intention and human touch' continues to inspire her to study and share the amazing benefits of Reflexology, Metamorphosis and Prana Yoga in private practice.
