Jane Franklin Dance: The Big Meow

Little Cat is an ever-hopeful fluff ball who desperately wants to belong to the band of neighborhood cats. The Big Meow is a story of a Little Cat’s hope, disappointment, courage, and need for belonging. These simple themes are part of every neighborhood, but in this wonderful tale told through the experiences of Little Cat, a potential weakness is a unique strength. The performance incorporates spoken word, movement, music, and an interactive participatory introduction for young children.

Show opens with participatory introduction or performances by local youth groups:
-January 25 – Interactive Participation
-February 1 – Students from JFD Mini-Camp: Why Do Cicadas Scream?
-February 8 – Choreographer’s Collaboration Project
