More press on dance and Autism

Uncategorized

Check out this ten year old who has memorized the entire Swanhilde’s masquerade solo in “Coppélia.”

I’ve done, and am still doing work with kids with neurological differences.  Dance is powerful, especially with kids who learn differently.  Here is an article on the work I do.

Here is one I wrote about the work I do with students on the autistm spectrum.

Enjoy!  Dance is important and crucial to our development.

The Black Space

Fresh Arts invites you to The Black Space, a multi-media dance installation and performance by Lydia Hance's Frame Dance Productions. Participatory and intimate in design, The Black Space explores the concept of forgiveness and the dichotomy between the sanity and healthiness of letting go and the unresolved anxiety that results from holding on to how others have wronged us.

Four performances only!
August 30, 31 & September 1, 2 (8:00pm)

Each performance begins at 8 pm.
Tickets $10

Where the ^&*$% are we going?

Frame Dance is on a journey.  We reframe the performance experience, we provide entry points to the creative experience that might not be characteristic of a “dance performance,” we strip the confines away from the role of the audience.  We invite you into the performance/event/installation/exhibition.  We have so many words for what we create, and yet, I pull hard and fast away from the word “show.”  Because that’s just contrary to what we’re trying to do.  We’re not showing you something.  We invite you into something.

…and what is that?

The human experience.  We pull apart, dissect, magnify, glamorize or honestly reveal the intricacies of this thing called “living.”  Documenting life.  Revealing humanity.  Exposing the creative process, and living in the moment.  We never perform the same piece twice.  Never.  Just ask the dancers.  We screen the same film twice.  But never perform the same piece twice.  What’s the fun in that?  We don’t live the same day twice.

(yeah, yeah, I’ve seen Groundhog Day)

So our journey is this series of events, installations, films, and we progress in vision and through from event to event.  Each piece stands alone, but follow us, and you’ll see us completing a full thought on the role of audience in art experience, exposing and documenting life in our creations, and some flat out fabulousness.

In case you missed it, here’s the review of our last show.
