2015 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Fran will capture and preserve the culture of African dance in Philadelphia by producing a step-by-step instructional video on the techniques of the legendary Ione Nash, a 91-year-old Philadelphia-based dancer choreographer, and teacher. Fran studied with Ione, and created a documentary about the dancer in 2014. Fran’s instructional dance video will accompany a series of interactive workshops throughout Philadelphia with Ione Nash, and invite participants to learn African dance. By documenting Ione’s techniques on film, Fran hopes to provide a medium through which African dance culture may continue to be an integral component and contributor to heal and empower our communities.
