Fringe at JOG


James Oliver Gallery welcomes the Philly Fringe Festival on Friday, September 11th at 10:00 PM, and Saturday, September 12th at 5:00 and 10:00 PM. The Saturday performances will bookend our opening reception for PRIME.

Cutting-edge, DC-based choreographer and performing artist Kelly Bond will perform "Splitting the Difference", a spectacle of the body that generates an intense physical experience for both audience and performer.

This solo performance work uses physical sensation and text to connect to its audience empathetically - seeming to say "this is your body, too" - and to create an opening through which the viewer can identify personally.

Kelly Bond is an internationally practicing choreographer and performing artist. Her work has most recently been presented at Artomatic in DC, and in Madrid at the In-Presentable Festival, which she co-curated. She was awarded a Young Emerging Artist grant from the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities and holds a Master of Arts in European dance-theatre practice from Laban in London.

This work is funded in part by the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, an agency supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
