From experimental art to experimental laughs: After suffering through the low wages and minimal recognition of the post-modern dance world, classically-trained dancers Jamie Graham and Amy Larimer became The Raving Jaynes, a dynamic duo telling entirely improvised, one-time-only stories about female-centric heroism and mischief at the intersection of dance, song and theater.

The Raving Jaynes have performed regularly in NYC over the last 10 years at The Peoples Improv Theater, Dixon Place, The Tank and Triskelion Arts. They've been presented at festivals throughout the US and abroad, highlights include The Out of Bounds Comedy Festival in Austin, TX; Mount Olymprov Improv Festival in Athens, Greece; IMPRO Amsterdam and La 2da Muestra Nacional de Improvisación Teatral/ImproTop in Tepic, Mexico.

Jamie Graham is a trained dancer, clown and improviser who has performed regularly with Jenny Rocha's Painted Ladies, Third Rail Project's Then She Fell, and Virgina Scott's Some Clowns.

Amy Larimer is a dancer, writer, choreographer, teacher and improviser. She is an Associate Professor and the Director of the Dance Program at Lehman College.
