The recently-widowed “Mother of America” lies helpless in her Mount Vernon bed, ravaged by illness and cared for by the very slaves that are free the moment she dies. The fever dream of terrifying theatricality that follows investigates everything from Martha Washington’s family to her historical legacy.

NextLOOK: Orange Grove Dance
The One-Mile Radius Project: Experiencing Space Differently
Friday, April 14, 2017 . 7PM
Presented by the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center

Location: Joe’s Movement Emporium

Our human imprint and the memory of our movement linger in spaces well after we have migrated through them. The One-Mile Radius Project explores these imprints and the unique spaces within a one-mile radius of Joe’s Movement Emporium. In collaboration with Joe’s, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Brentwood Arts Exchange and their workshop participants, Orange Grove Dance will investigate the personal and uniquely traversed spaces of the community. Dance, film and projection will be used to zoom into and magnify the intimate nooks and crevices of seemingly familiar spaces and, in turn, bring those outside spaces inside the walls of Joe’s.

Founded in 2007 by Colette Krogol and Matthew Reeves, Orange Grove Dance is built on the ideals of integrating dance, art, film and movement with all communities, large and small.

Tickets: Pay what you wish, no tickets required.

Out of Darkness, The One Woman Show by Patricia Eubanks

A production that chronicles the story of Patricia’s life to encourage others that you can make it through whatever seems to be the cards that life dealt you. Just because something is familiar you don’t need to stay in that comfort zone. A message to all but especially created for women the carrier of our seeds, children. No matter the situations life brings you can partner with God and his strategies for your life and be catapulted into your purpose giving you beauty for ashes. There is no force stronger than Love, it forced me “Out of Darkness”.

Tickets: $10 in advance (click here), $15 at the door.
