Breaking Ground Breaking Ground combines round wall skate boarders with company dancers for video and live performance. The round wall skate park at Langdon Park created by East Coast Round Wall Foundation, redefines the space it inhabits by transitioning a previously underused and neglected recreational area into a youth friendly, community developed skateboard park. The round bowl construction is a design of constant curves with inclines and hills of elevation that mimic the waves of the ocean. The steep plunges and the unusual balance points create a dynamic language that can be experienced by both mover and viewer. 2901 20th St NE Washington DC June 1, 8, 15 at 1:00 pm Come to observe skate board or dance FREE Open Rehearsal Preview 1250 9th Street, NW, Washington DC June 7 at 9:00 pm FREE Watch for coming events in partnership with Sean Watkins, Monstah Black, DC Film Alliance and DC Shorts Film Festival. Breaking Ground is made possible in part by a grant from the Creative Communities Fund of the The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region, a grantmaking program of the Creative Communities Initiative and by individuals: Amy Smithson, Peg Schaefer, Belford Lawson, Christina Friedl, Michael Levy, Nora Trochim, Ilana Silverstein
Become a sponsor for Breaking Ground. Return the reply card via surface mail or Contribute online. _______________________________ Incidence Jane Franklin Dance is collaborating with composer Gina Biver and installation artist Howard Connelly to create the new work, Incidence. A light weight kinetic sculpture will trigger the order of dance and music segments. The installation works on the principle of a roulette wheel. In Roulette, a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, and then spins a ball in the opposite direction. In Incidence the music and dance meet by coincidence and are dependent upon the turn of the installation. Incidence has been selected by the Cultural Development Corporation for the 08-09 Season at the Mead Theater Lab Program at Flashpoint, 916 G Street, NW, Washington, D.C. Dec 4 pay-what-you can preview Dec 5, 6, 12, 13 at 8 pm and Dec 7 and 14 at 3 pm _________________________
Jane Franklin Dance is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization under section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code

Special Thanks THANK YOU Langston Brown Community Center and Eva Mayor for hosting our performance for the Senior Adult community on May 5. Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington and Kandy Hutman for bringing us to JCC for a concert for Seniors and youth. "Each of the adults I spoke with indicated they appreciated the sophistication of the dances and the manner in which the dancers moved together so beautifully. The children were delighted by the way the dancers used their bodies. One little boy told me he didn’t know that dancers “would move on the floor like that.” I asked Jon if he ever thought that he was a dancer when he rolled around in the gym. He Kandy Hutman, Continuing Education Program Director, JCC, Rockville Arlington Mill (Ema Valencia) Langston Brown (Eva Mayor) and Walter Reed (Nelly Urbach) for providing space and administrative support for our Joy of Movement Workshops for Senior Adults during May.
