Bryan Saner (Guest Dancer in A Room of Wishes – 1988)
“Jan’s seamless transitioning of dance into the gallery/performance culture was innovative in the 1980’s in Chicago and she has continued to expand the scale of that endeavor. She has been an important force in activating the visual arts culture in Chicago galleries.”
