Abraham Lincoln and modern dance

Take Bill T. Jones and Abraham Lincoln and one ends up with an amazing evening of dance called Fondly Do We Hope...Fervently Do We Pray. The title, taken from Lincoln's second inaugural address, is also found on the Lincoln Memorial.

The staging was unique and consisted of two ovals. One was enclosed with sheer white curtains while the other jutted out into the audience. The curtains were moved with and by the dancers.

And what a treat to have live music. Too many times dance in Cleveland is to recorded music. Both vocalists moved me.

A very satisfying evening of dance.
