Recent honoree of the prestigious Local Dance Commissioning Project from The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, choreographer Francesca Jandasek Acayan performs Ellesmere, a multi-media work showcasing her creative movement style. Set to an original, gypsy-influenced acoustic and electronic music score composed by Acayan and Pio Tan Acayan Jr., Ellesmere explores the evolution of a community dealing with and reacting to change. Dancers in pointe shoes with arm stilts move through the space with Acayan’s fresh choreography.
