Jenn Green, a professionally trained modern dancer, mother of two, discovered a file full of video recordings of her husband raping her, after he had drugged her with high doses of Ambien. The videos' time stamps reflect that the abuse had been going on for over four years. As in many instances of domestic/intimate partner violence, it took Jenn an extended amount of time to organize extricating her children, and herself. Once they were out, step by step, with incredible community support, Jenn took the initiative to seek an order of protection. Once in a safe space, she began a daily practice of dancing in her kitchen, calling on her years of movement training and practice to create space for healing. Jenn filmed her daily practice and created an Instagram account, "Tiny Kitchen Dances", where she posted her daily dance, an offering to herself, sharing her path with others.
