Putnam Falls for Dance Weekend

Saturday, September 26th at 4:30 p.m.
Arts on the Lake's company in residence, PCDP, presents dances inspired by the 250th anniversary of our country's Declaration of Independence and Revolution. The program features repertory from modern dance revolutionary Isadora Duncan ("Revolutionary," "The Crossing," and "Nightride"), along with reimagined work in the Duncan technique by Faith Kimberling and Marie Carstens. Additional pieces range from elegant, stirring work by Erin Jennings featuring music by local composer Andres Luis Virola, to an homage created by Steven Jeltsch expressing the emotional volatility experienced by loved ones waiting at home as soldiers go to war.

After-Party Fundraising Reception (Saturday, 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.)
Join us for a light reception in the lower gallery of Arts on the Lake following Saturday's performance. Tickets can be purchased in advance in combination with the show for $40 (Dance Supporter ticket) or separately at the door for $25. Regular performance tickets may also be purchased in advance or at the door for $25.

Sunday, September 27th at 2:30 p.m.
Join us for the final OPEN STAGE: Revolution! of the season, showcasing new and in-progress choreographic works. Choreographers will test out raw work, followed by a very special guest artist, Native American dancer and musician Donna Coane, who will lead dancers and the audience in a Native American circle dance. The afternoon will conclude with a lively discussion about the work and light refreshments on the lawn.
