FRANKLIN — Franklin Stage Company presents a dance concert featuring New York-based dance company, Bridgman|Packer Dance, August 1-3 at Chapel Hall in Franklin. “We feel honored to have such an internationally known company grace our stage,” said Artistic Director Patricia Buckley, “their innovative dances are exciting and so much fun.”
Bridgman|Packer Dance’s enigmatic wizardry and seamless blend of live performance and video technology can bring to life the long-forgotten stories buried in the walls of an abandoned American factory, navigate through an illogical and fantastical night of dreams, evoke the hauntingly vivid world of painter Edward Hopper, or transform an ordinary box truck into a stunning micro-world. The duet form explodes into a kaleidoscopic wonder, all in one breathtaking evening of dance. The company was awarded a 2017 Bessie Award for Outstanding Production.
Based in New York City, Bridgman|Packer has been presented by City Center Fall For Dance Festival, Lincoln Center, The Baryshnikov Arts Center, The 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Festival, Dance Theater Workshop (now NYLA), Danspace Project, The Sheen Center, and Central Park's Summerstage. They have toured throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, The Middle East, and Central America, performing in festivals, art centers, and universities.
Showtimes for Bridgman|Packer Dance are Friday, August 1st and Saturday August 2nd at 7:30 pm, and Sunday, August 3rd at 5:00 pm. All performances are at Chapel Hall, 25 Institute Street in Franklin, NY. Admission is free—suggested donation is $25 per person. For reservations, visit www.franklinstagecompany.org.
