“Take a Deep Breath” explores the emotional connection to place. There are remote landscapes only known through photographs or through the imagination. Close to home, there are places experienced so frequently that a second look is warranted. Jane Franklin Dance brings both perspectives to life.
A Vivid Sense of Place engages the possibilities of wide open space. This dynamic work, with music by Washington DC composer Steven Rogers, transforms verbal descriptions of untouched landscapes in Iceland, Scotland, Kalahari Desert and the Andes into raw and untamed movement.
Double Take is a dance that compares two experiences of ’seeing.’ Each viewer determines a preferred meaning..the live performance in connection to video or in connection to the interior architecture itself.
