on the Run
05/04/2024 to 05/04/2024
3700 S Four Mile Run Dr, Arlington, VA 22206Jane Franklin Dance performs “on the Run” with a concert that features award-winning choreographers and performances by Forty+ Project. Enjoy movement and dance in the heart of Arlington’s industrial district at Four Mile Run. Tickets are available for $22 at https://janefranklin.com/performances or $25 at the door. Throw It Up by Ryan Bailey is about an itch within the body that needs to be released; an original rhythm affects each of the five dancers differently. The music is an original composition by the choreographer. Around With You, a new piece by Andie de Vaulx, was created in residency at the Glen Echo Park with new and returning Forty+ Project members. In an increasingly disconnected world, the group was looking for the opportunity to gather and connect through dance. In Jane Franklin’s Shake, developed for Mason Exhibitions Arlington in 2023, performers respond to percussion, silence, and cadence. In Drums, performers mark silence and exult in the rhythmic pulse. Shake, a trio, vibrates with electric energy. Spoken word by artist Bennie Herron adds memory to the narrative as three poems, “Connected,” “Powdered Milk,” and “Summertime '' bring forward images of childhood. "Testify," by Lauren DeVera, moves to music by the Taco Shop Poets with spoken word by Bennie Herron. Linear is inspired by the work of visual artist Christine Ruksensas-Burton, whose “paintings are conversations of colors inspired by her homeland (Australia) as well as modern art, minimalism, modernist architecture, and design.” Michala Conroy’s Space Launch (premier) is a high-energy adventure blasting off into the galaxy. Rob Priore’s Esta Vida explores themes of commitment and expression. Surprising movement weaves a story of partnership in juxtaposition to isolation. The work was selected for Richmond Dance Festival 2022 and was seen at Atlas INTERSECTIONS Festival 2022.
