Jennifer Rader
Jennifer Rader is an Oklahoma Native and Native American member of the Sokaogon Chippewa tribe of Wisconsin. Her native name ‘Waabanishimo’ means “she dances until daylight.” Formerly a professional dancer training in modern dance, ballet, tap and hip hop, Jennifer has performed premiere works both nationally and internationally. A fierce dedication to the training, discipline, and considering herself an avid storyteller of these arts, paved a direct path to exploring outlets and creating a passion for acting. She has appeared in the upcoming films Southland, opposite Bella Thorne, Sleeping in Plastic, soon to premiere at the 2019 Austin Film Festival, and the horror western The Pale Door. In early 2019, Jennifer starred in the Sundance Lab Program short film The Daily Life of Mistress Red written and directed by Sundance fellow Peshawn Bread.
