Notwithstanding, or
perhaps because of, the fact that today’s world is
so connected, sometimes things fall apart, “the
center cannot hold”. Each of us must deal with this
in our own way.
The dis-Connect that I see on so many levels leaves
me feeling uncomfortable in my own powerlessness.
But it is my belief that artistic statement provides
us with the hope of redemption and re-connection.

Recently seen at
the Inaugural Capital Fringe Festival in Washington
DC and at the Charlotte Dance Festival in North
Carolina, Jane Franklin Dance "communicates with a
fine kinesis"...(All the Arts Review4U) in works
that challenge and delight the senses. The Arlington Va - based dance company, now in it's tenth year is
known for its lively mix of dance, theater and humor
and the for the ability to engage and inspire
community populations of all ages. Jane Franklin
Dance brings this friendly mix to Radford University
in a performance sponsored by the Virginia
Commission for the Arts and the Virginia Museum of
Fine Arts Paul Mellon Arts in Education Program. The
performance includes select dances from a
collaborative project with leading Washington DC
metro area poets David Bristol, Martha
Sanchez-Lowery and Reuben Jackson.
Don't miss this visually compelling performance that
moves the spoken word. In the interconnected dance
snapshots of "Dancing the Page," determined
individuals cope with oranges, rubber bands and
folded pieces of cardstock paper. Music includes
selections from "Cowboy Bebop," Jimi Hendrix,
Charles Mingus and DC's own Jonathan Matis. Also on
the program is a piece included in the International
Dance Festival in New York this past summer, "To
Flower" with original music by Catholic University's
Snark Ensemble –Maurice Saylor/Andrew Simpson/Philip
Carluzzo. The gender identifying witty fun takes
hold in the surreal favorite "Leroy" with an
exercise trampoline bouncing male, and women with
white coat hangers hurling distant memories.
