Welcome to JamTown! I am Jamila Glass, a Filmmaker and Choreographer known for creating cinematic journeys of movement, shaping characters, and building worlds that reflect what make us human. In addition to creating work as the Artistic Director of L.A. Contemporary Dance Company (LACDC), I have choreographed extensively in film and television on Netflix, HBO, Hulu, BET, and PRADA, earning recognition in The New York Times, L.A. Times, Essence Magazine, Ebony Magazine, and Mashable. Additionally, I have spent the last 10 years bridging the world of film and movement, directing, producing, and editing 21 dance films. I am a proud member of the Television Academy, the Choreographers Guild and SAG-AFTRA. Check out what else I’ve been up to.
