In conjunction with the January 14 – February 21 Athenaeum Exhibition, Michael Spears | The Sight of Rhythm and Melody, Jane Franklin Dance explores the physical connection to space, and the emotions shaded by light, surroundings and song. With mobile webcams , small areas of the gallery are isolated as a nod to social distance. The physical boundaries, a spiraling metal staircase, a closed doorway, a window looking out toward S. Lee Street, a sliver of space left ajar are outlined by movement, a response to limitation or freedom.
Music is by the singer-songwriter duo Luna, Valeria Stewart and Kathleen Huber.
Michael Spears’ work, inspired by R&B, motivates dances that react to his “Untitled” series. Spears’ process is a visual response to rhythm and melody. Jane Franklin Dance juxtaposes dancers with five early works that generate hope and a positive message for a better tomorrow. Spears spoken words, describing process, intent and small details are woven into the sound score. The music, by Future Prospect, a Richmond based band is from their 2016 debut album “The Climb” and features saxophonist Trey Sorrells.
