SUMMARY:Interpretations in Dance and Art\, Fearless Motion
DESCRIPTION:Jill Frere and company\, of Fearless Motion will present a structured improvisational dance performance inspired by the artwork in the exhibition Jo Sandman/TRACES.  Jill is dancing with Nate Barrett\, Laura Bergamy\, and Angela Hill to the live music of Knoxville’s beloved jazz pianist Ben Maney.  Fearless Motion is excited to explore what happens when we take our own bodies to be found art\, then deconstruct that to create room for a genuine process of transformation and regeneration.  The event\, happening in the gallery\, amongst the works that inspired it\, begins with a brief discussion of that inspiration followed by a live dance and music structured improvisation. \nFree and open to the public!
