In the 2000-01 season she was Artist-in-Residence at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts where she created an evening-length solo work called “Metamorphosis” and the installation piece “Ice Cello”, inspired by the work of the Fluxus artist Charlotte Moorman. Eiko and Koma commissioned the collaboration “Be With” for solo cello and dance premiered in live performances at he Kennedy Center, Joyce Theater, and the Yerba Buena Center during the 2001-02 season. In June 2003 Jeanrenaud completed and performed her hour long composition for the multi-media piece, “In Between”, with Bay Area visual artist Tom Bonauro featuring percussionist William Winant. In 2004 Jeanrenaud was a featured performer and composer for San Francisco’s Other Minds Festival writing the cello and electronics piece “Hommage” for the occasion. In 2006 Jeanrenaud composed and performed the score for “Humansville”, a performance installation for the Joe Goode Performance Group. In addition to performing her own compositions, several composers have written new works for her, including Terry Riley, Hamza El Din, Steve Mackey, Fred Frith, Kevin Volans, Karen Tanaka, Paul Dresher, Mark Grey, Anthony Davis, Alvin Curran and Annie Gosfield. As an improviser she collaborates with Larry Ochs, Miya Masaoka, Stephen Vitiello and Fred Frith among others.
