Free Performance with Jane Franklin Dance

7:00 PM – 7:30 PM

Highlighted by spoken word, Jane Franklin’s Shake interweaves dance with spoken word poetry by Bennie Herron. In Drums, performers accumulate through movement, rhythm and cadence and celebrate during interjected slices of silence. In part II a trio vibrates with the joy of electric energy. Spoken word by artist Bennie Herron adds memory to the narrative as three poems, “Connected,” “Powdered Milk,” “Summertime ” bring forward images of childhood.
