Wednesday, May 16 at 6:00 pm Jane Franklin Dance is delighted to close our 10th Anniversary Season at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage by providing a free performance for you, our wonderful audience. We will be performing two new works that blend media with dance. In Temporal Interference dancers carve out an environment with digital artist Bryan Leister's live video and electro acoustic Theremin and Gina Biver's music composition. Movement resurfaces to recall the familiar changed by time. The companion work, In Hiding, uses fabric panels, shadow, and the human form. Layered imagery by artist Becky Heavner alternately reveals and conceals the performers, becoming both a barrier and a passageway to presence. KENNEDY CENTER MILLENNIUM STAGE TICKETS: FREE Information 703-298-3235 Reception - 600 Restaurant immediately following the May 16 performance Join us for a ticketed reception at 600 Restaurant at the Watergate immediately following the performance.
