ABOUT DAISY

Daisy Jacobson is from Los Angeles, California and earned her BFA in Dance from The Juilliard School in 2017. Soon after, she joined L.A. Dance Project and worked almost exclusively for the company for the following six years. Daisy performed in new works and repertoire by Benjamin Millepied, Justin Peck, Kyle Abraham, Ohad Naharin, Martha Graham, Bella Lewitzky, Janie Taylor, Gianna Reisen, Madeline Hollander, Jill Johnson, Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber. In 2022, Daisy guested with Twyla Tharp Dance and performed in the revivals of “In The Upper Room” and “Nine Sinatra Songs”. Since leaving LADP in 2023, Daisy has danced in Tharp’s “Ocean’s Motion” and in “Ballet Master” for the company’s season at The Joyce Theater and in “How Long Blues” at Little Island. Daisy also joined Millepied’s Grace Company in Paris, France to work on his latest evening-length work that celebrates the music of Jeff Buckley. Millepied’s piece, “GRACE” premiered at La Scène Musicale in Paris, France and then returned to the stage in the Nuits de Fourvière festival. In 2025, Daisy joined Twyla Tharp’s Diamond Jubilee Tour for the company’s 60th anniversary season where she performed in two Tharp masterworks: “Diabelli” and “Slacktide”. The pieces toured a total of forty-one performances across the U.S. and in Venice, Italy at the “Biennale” where Tharp was awarded the Golden Lion. Daisy now splits her time between New York City and Paris where she continues to work primarily with both Millepied and Tharp as a free-lancer.
