“Everything worked so well together. I mentioned to Matt that the choreography really blended so well to create that effect that we were in his characters mind. The dancers on the table in front of him, as if he’s projecting his internal anguish. The dancers shaking hands and grinning behind him, as if he senses the rest of the world moving forward and succeeding.” – Dan O’Neil.

“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
