The fall season is an actionpacked time for the arts in Rappahannock County and the surrounding areas.
Among the activities planned are performances of modem dance, the first regional “Artists of the Blue Ridge" exhibit, the sale of a 1986 calendar featuring local artists and a visit of the 20th Century Club of Washington, D.C. to the local galleries of local artists.
The premiere performance of a new production by Rappahannock’s modem dance group, the Last Minute Wood Company, opens the marquee on Saturday at 8 p.m., with a second performance planned for Oct. 11, both at the Gay St. Theatre.
Two years in the making, the piece is called “Box 48,” an original concept, and is based on letters received by choreographer, director and dancer Sally Nash since she moved to the county 10 years ago.
With the depth, humor and richness that characterizes Ms. Nash’s remarkably crafted dances, she deals with such subjects as her mother’s cooking and self-definition, sibling rivalry and religious conversion, and the way that one person’s creative process can support that of another.
Original music for the dance is composed and performed by Tom Espinola, a new resident to the area whose wife, Lorraine Duisuit, is a member of the musical group Trapezoid.
Veteran Nan Reddick, who has been with the Last Minute Wood Company longer than any current member, will be treating the audience to another remarkable display of talent.
