The piece is inspired by both ancient and contemporary culture, drawing from the Sufi mystic traditions of repetitive sound and motion.
Of Bones & Bridges – Four Mile Run is a stream that serves a 20 mile square area in Northern Virginia. No longer a natural stream, eight of the 20 square miles is paved or covered with buildings. Novie Trump, a Northern Virginia sculptor whose work is in public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe, has created a bridge and porcelain bones. The bridge is symbol of the urbanization of Four Mile Run and is transformed to represent the communities that can be connected by the lingering natural beauty and the inherent attraction of water. Remnants of houses and sheds are discernible at Zenda, a settlement formed after the Civil War by newly freed slaves. Long’s Chapel served as both a school and church for the community and stands as a reminder of the transition of African slaves to American citizens. Zenda features art by James Madison University’s Susan Zurbrigg and was recently premiered at Court Square Theatre in Harrisonburg. Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company |

“Jane Franklin Dance has a wealth of experience exploring the intersection between dance and performance art. Last year’s Temporal Interference featured three dancers stepping gracefully around a hulking sculpture, triggering changes to the soundtrack in real time. With Incidence, the area’s most forward-thinking troupe revisits the same questions” – Washington City Paper 11.4.08
