elephant JANE dance-untitled sad piece

Set to songs by the 1970's duo The Carpenters, untitled sad piece examines the sensation of a sinking heart. In quiet reiterative solos, touching duets, and one wild investigatory burst of galumphing, five dancers respond to the deep sadness in the grain of Karen Carpenter's voice, initiate from the dancers’ hearts, and find tenderness.

​

Lead by acclaimed choreographer and Connecticut College professor, Heidi Henderson’s work draws you in. There is a humor and light within the discovery of what touches our hearts most deeply.
