Photoworks Gallery in historic Glen Echo Park is proud to present Forces of Nature, an exhibition of black and white photography. The show's images record the visual beauty of the forces of nature on the natural and man-made worlds.
Dennis O'Keefe's images from the C & O Canal represent nature in a state of purity -- exploring the interplay of light and water. In his collection titled "Close to Home," Everitt Clark's photographs capture the quiet, sometimes disturbing beauty that resides in our everyday environment. And Tanguy de Carbonnieres presents "Not A Walk In the Park," bringing you up close to tragically worn and torn man-made structures and objects in both Paris and Washington, DC.
These photographers were selected for this exhibit from the 2012 Photoworks Call for Proposals. Also, exhibitors Tanguy de Carbonnieres and Dennis O’ Keefe are long-time attendees at Photoworks “Coffee and Critique” – a free monthly "photo jam session" -- designed to examine photographers’ current work and ongoing projects. |

Celebrate American Dance – at the 26th Annual Jazz & Tap DanceFestival 2012
With 25 annual productions down, the Dancin’ UnlimitedJazz Dance Company (DUJDC) launches the next quarter century with the 26th Annual Jazz & Tap Dance Festival on Saturday, March 3rd at 8:00 P.M. and Sunday, March 4th at 4:00 P.M at the Northern Virginia Community College, Annandale Campus theatre. The Festival showcases jazz dance, a true American art form, in its variety of 20th century styles evolvingwith 21st century music.
“A characteristic of jazz dance,” says Marilyn York, Artistic Director of DUJDC, “isthat it changes as jazz music changes and as popular entertainment preferenceschange.” Yorkframes the Festival as a vaudevillian sequence of jazz, tap, hip hop, andmusical theatre dance numbers. The “Chambermaid Swing”premiers in this years show. It reaches back to ragtime and swing in a funpiece about maids on a holiday. Another piece takes us forward to thelatest contemporary interpretation of concert jazz dance. Still anotherhighlights the driving, ritualistic African drum heritage.
Five more dance companies expand the Festival’ssyncopated patterns of movements and pauses: Encore Performers, CenterStage Dance, Capitol Movement, Impulse, and MYTE. Center Stage’sMichael Hibbs, recent winner of the Fairfax County Dance Coalition’sscholarship for a high school senior pursuing advanced dance education,demonstrates his Bill “Bojangles” Robinson tap danceexpertise. The Encore Performers “rockette” us with largescale musical theatre pieces and Capital Movement hip hops us into street crowdfrenzy.
At the Jazz & Tap Dance Festival, “It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing” (Duke Ellington). The power of live jazz dance is in its vitality and rhythmic creativity. It’s always fresh, free and fundamental to our American spirit. As York says, “This isart that honors original street dance techniques with contemporary energy andinspiration.” It’s “jazz dance with class!”
Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 at the door. For tickets and information, visit www.dujdc.org,or contact any of the participating dance organizations. The NVCC Annandale Campus theatre is located at 8333 Little River Turnpike, Annandale,VA; and is convenient to Rt 495 Beltway Exit 52-A. The Festival is supported and funded in part by the Arts Council of Fairfax County. |

Help us keep Soapbox thriving!
Donate to our Kickstarter Campaign
Hillyer Art Space has presented the work of 20 performance artists since its creation in 2011. Thus far we have had over 800 attendees to Soapbox performances and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
By donating to our campaign you will help us to pay our artists and allow us to hire a part-time staff member to focus solely on Soapbox.
Kickstarter Campaign
Why donate?
Because currently we have been unable to pay our performance artists and they deserve to eat more than Ramen. We are also doing this now because Soapbox has exceeded all of our expectations thus far and in order to keep Soapbox running at the standard that it is we also need to bring on a paid part-time staff member (and we think they deserve to eat something other than Ramen too)
So check out our campaign. Donate. And come to the next Soapbox performance!
In order to receive any funds from the campaign Kickstarter requires that we reach our goal of $5,500, so help us out and donate today!
All donations are 100% tax-deductible and...for every level of donation you get something in return!
