Jen Berger works as an interdisciplinary, community, and socially engaged artist and educator. She has lived in Burlington since 2001. Jen uses street, stage and guerilla theater, visual arts, painting, printmaking, puppetry, video for education, and dialogue to raise awareness and intervene in social issues that affect us all.
Jen also works as a teaching artist, working with students, who are in early childhood through adult-aged students.
Jen has been devising projects to engage her community for many years. Her creative commitment to the Old North End has resulted in two residencies at the Integrated Arts Academy, one resulting in a mural that hung at the top of the Rt 127 bike path entrance and a performance-based cooking class at the Old North End farmers market to help neighbors become more comfortable in creating recipes based on the vegetables available each week, and most recently "We Didn't Expect This to Happen - A Mural".
She is currently adjunct faculty at the Community College of Vermont and Champlain College, and creating community engagement opportunities through her new project ‘At the Root’.
