LAVENDER MEN - About Face Theatre
Movement Director
“The combined efforts of Etti-Williams, choreographer Jacinda Ratcliffe and lighting designer Ben Carne give their love story a whimsical quality. Bathed in dreamy purple light, the two men first lock eyes to Leonard Bernstein’s music from Tony and Maria’s first meeting in “West Side Story.”
— Chicago Tribune
THE ISLAND - Court Theatre
Movement Director
“In Court’s production, that endurance is grounded in the herculean, intensely physical performances by Conner and Ealy. Movement director Jacinda Ratcliffe powers the production with grueling physicality requiring some serious athleticism. Conner and Ealy deliver it with prowess while still being wholly believable as prisoners battered within an inch of their lives.”
— Chicago Sun-Times
LACED - About Face Theatre
Assistant Director - Choreographer - Bar Consultant
“…the audience tends to focus a bit too much on the humorous one-liners plus the nicely suggestive sexual moves and the fun dancing, thanks to the fine work of choreographer and assistant director Jacinda Ratcliffe.”
— Around the Town Chicago
LADY FROM THE SEA - Court Theatre
Associate Movement Artist
“The characters literally—and figuratively—ebb and flow through the play like the sea itself. That imagery reveals itself in every facet of the creative teams superb work: the stylized choreography by Erika Chong Such, that serves as a prelude for the action.”

MLIMA’S TALE - Griffin Theatre
Movement Director
“...the grand creature come[s] alive through Nottage’s perfectly sculpted words and movement director Jacinda Ratcliffe’s expressive choreography.”
– Chicago Sun-Times
“[T]he leading performances...are rich and fully realized pieces of work, especially when combined with Jacinda Ratcliffe’s gutsy choreography.”
– Chicago Tribune
THE ODE AT PINT’S END - Birch House Immersive
Choreographer
“…at least half of the experience is told through song and dance. It adds a majestic layer to the sailors’ stories, which are already filled with magical, otherworldly elements; the audience provides stomps and claps alongside the band’s songs. The Dark and two other mystical creatures glide around the space, singing and dancing, as if moving through the sea itself with grace and ease.”
— No Proscenium
