Lubber Run Amphitheatre

July 29 at 8 pm

Jane Franklin Dance performs for Arts al Fresco, Arlington's free series of outdoor performing events. No reservations or tickets are required. Bring a picnic, enjoy great dance.

Desire, need, and craving factor into the insistent, physical sensation of THIRST, a premier work performed by nine dancers of mixed ages. Ring is a visually arresting piece incorporating a bamboo sphere, stands and hoops to evoke the Vietnamese countryside.  Found is a collaboration among choreographers and musicians that is unified by the suggestion of birds in flight. 
Admission is FREE!
