​Fortitude & Gentleness
A rehearsal between two actors turns into explosions of angst, politics, literature, motherhood, forgiveness, and love—with snatches of song, a handful of dances, rants about life, and impassioned appeals to both the moon and Jane Austen. The themes are explored through movement, song and dance, embodying the energetic, rhythm-driven style of Jump Rhythm, a form of jazz dance focusing on raw physical and emotional energy and syncopation.
