J Michael Winward is an independent dance artist based in Boston. He is the founding director of Steps in Time™, a program that brings adaptive ballroom dance classes and parties to assisted living and memory care communities throughout Greater Boston. A regular collaborator with Peter DiMuro/Public Displays of Motion (PDM), Michael works to advance the PDM mission of cultivating dance/arts literacy, advocacy and engagement.
Michael's solo performances blend movement and memoir. Weaving back and forth between linear and nonlinear expression, they explore a variety of topics: coming of age, institutional injustice, and the politics of being oneself.
"J Michael Winward’s Hail Mary, Cha cha cha! presented a funny and poignant look at being a queer Catholic teenager...Winward is a strong performer with terrific timing and considerable presence." -Jessica Lockhart, Artsfuse
