as a performance artist, Jeter will often collaborate with traditional artists
or with non-traditional partners including social service organizations to
create curriculum, programming, and theatrical works in order to spotlight
societal concerns such as homelessness, addiction and sexual abuse. This Ohio
native is an advocate of the arts. Jeter works in educational, community and
professional theatre. Her thesis entitled, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">The
Rites of Being: An Analytical Review of Performance Art</i>, was an attempt to
legitimize the abstract art form of performance art. As a Social Artist, she
continues to develop art constructions that address the changing needs of the
community. Jeter creates commentary through her photography, writing,
directing, painting and/or a combination of select media. Jeter previously
directed <i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Fifteen Minute Hamlet</span></i>
for Weathervane’s First Night contribution several years ago. Concentrating
primarily on African American theatre, Jeter’s past directing credits include <i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Black Girl</span></i>, <i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">The Amen Corner</span></i>, <i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">For Colored Girls…, On Striver’s Row, Crowns</span></i>,
