Joyce Morgenroth describes his work as "wry" and "often spoken of in oppositional pairs" of which the most central is "…the interplay between his tightly conceived structures and his elusive movement style." His dancers are involved in an "interactive choreographic process" and "[s]ets are designed to be integral to the dance," with dancers often moving or otherwise interacting with sets and props.[5]
Jasperse's evening-length works are Rickety Perch (1989), Eyes Half Closed (1991), furnished/unfurnished (1993), Excessories (1995), Waving to you from here (1997), Madison as I imagine it (1999), Giant Empty (2001), just two dancers (2003), CALIFORNIA (2003), Prone (2005),[7]Becky, Jodi, and John (2007)[4] and Misuse liable to prosecution (2007).[10]
The John Jasperse Company, founded in 1985, has two managing structures: Thin Man Dance, Inc. in New York (since 1998) and Association Chapitre II in Lyon, France (since 2003).[3]
In 2008, Jasperse partnered with Jonah Bokaer of Chez Bushwick to co-found the Center for Performance Research (CPR) in Williamsburg, New York.[11]
