Dear Friends of Northern Plains Dance,

Thank you for joining us for Dance+, the first

performance of NPD’s 2024-25 Theater Season. As
always, Dance+ 2024 features diverse and thought-
provoking works. As the Director of this incredible
organization, I always looked forward to this program.

While I adore the storytelling of narrative ballets such as

this season’s The Nutcracker and our spring program,
Cinderella, the excitement of experiencing these
contemporary works is difficult to match. What makes
them so special is that they are also extremely personal.
While the program notes may offer a window into the
choreographers’ intentions, each audience member can
interpret the works from their own unique perspective.
How I feel during a work may be completely different than your emotional experience
and that of the dancers as they also bring their own unique perspectives and
personalities to the works.

Whether you consider yourself well-versed or this is your first time experiencing
contemporary dance, be prepared to be amazed. Our Artistic Team has curated six
boldly unique pieces to enjoy that will linger with you long after the curtain closes.
The marriage of dance and visual arts is truly unique, not only locally but nationally -
that is not to be overlooked or taken lightly.

Our local arts community is such a vibrant asset we should all be proud of and your
support of programs such as these are key to that success. We are so grateful for
your support of works that challenge our way of thinking and attract world-class
choreographers and artists to the region.

I hope you enjoy Dance+.

Sincerely,

director

Choreographer’s notes

While living among seven billion people in the world, how can
I find absolute freedom in my body while acknowledging the
space I share with others? Knowing that we only have one take
at life, what would I do to feel free? What would I let go of
to feel light? What would I hold on to, to feel content? Can I
deconstruct the norm in a way that feels truthful and honest to
me, my body, and the space around me?

Choreographer’s notes
One color does not exist without the presence of
another… It is in this contrast and balance that we find
the beauty of both art and life. “In Gradient” was created
to explore the idea of the color spectrum and how it
may serve as an analogy for life. Through the vehicle
of classical dance, I hope you can identify the use of
contrasting dynamics, speed, and articulation of the body
to personify the essence of transition between colors to
create something whole.

Choreographer’s notes
The weight of the veil tells a story about loss. Each section is inspired
by the emotions experienced through the 5 stages of grief. Everyone’s
story is different, with no linear path of how to cope. The only way
forward is through acknowledging the tangled mess of feeling. Time
eases the pain, and the absence of what once existed stings a little
less. The love that once had a home must go somewhere. For now,
it goes inward, trust leading the way to healing.

Choreographer’s notes
“The threads of our past never unravel; they hover like
invisible webs, occasionally glistening in the sunlight.”
— Author, Anne Roiphe

When a butterfly flaps its wings, does it unknowingly set off

a chain of events that causes a tornado in another part of
the world? Does the impact of our seemingly insignificant
actions unravel the tapestry of cause and effect that defines
our interconnected existence? The thought of such an impact
encourages us to acknowledge chaos and to be thoughtful
with our decisions because we never know what the
consequence of those might be.

Choreographer’s notes
“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it
becomes a memory.” - Dr. Seuss
The inspiration for this piece came after going through
family photos of a loved one who recently passed away. A
photograph of a moment in time captured to be revisited and
to be enjoyed. This piece is about the moments we choose to
display in a frame. The times that we feel most inspired, loved,
and protected and the times that we most want to remember.
For it is within these frames that our past gets to live on.

Artists
Hollie DeFrancisco hails from the eastern shores
of Massachusetts where her creative journey began. As a
young girl, her father showed her the wonders of drawing,
pulling out carbon sheets and fantasy reference images,
and that is where her passion bloomed. Van Gogh said
drawing is the first step in painting and for her it was
the first step in becoming an illustrator. In 2010, Hollie
graduated from Jacksonville University with a Bachelors in
Fine Arts where her professor honed her chaotic passion
into polished craft. She specializes in a delightful blend of whimsy and
approachable nightmares, inspired by her young love of fairytales and
horror movies. Hollie has been represented by and exhibited her work
in group shows both regionally and nationally in galleries including
Alexander Breast Gallery, Underbrush Art Gallery, 8th Street Art Gallery,
Spirit Room, and The Rourke. Her illustrations have won several awards,
and she is always seeking ways to work collaboratively with her fellow
artists.
Nicole Gagner is an artist living and working in
Bismarck, North Dakota. She studied in Georgia and
California and has traveled extensively painting and
drawing around the world, including Utah, New Zealand
and at a Voices of the Wilderness Artist Residency in
Selawik, AK- but she is delighted to be living and working
on the northern prairies again. She works as a teaching
artist with a wide variety of students of all ages and abilities. Her work
began with VSA ND and Options Community Services, bringing art to
students living with disabilities, and that has informed her practice as a
teaching artist and the belief that art is for everyone. Since the beginning
of the Covid 19 pandemic, Nicole has worked to make residencies
and workshops available online in a variety of ways. She started the
Bismarck Mandan Studio Virtual Crawl to connect artists to an audience
while everyone stayed safe at home, and has started Meadowlark
Mercantile Art vending machines as a new way for artists to sell their
creations. She was selected as a Change Network Cohort for 2021,
and participated in the Springboard for the Arts Creative Community
Leadership Institute. Nicole’s passion for community development
organization and rural arts activism has led her to become a board
member of BisMarket, the regional farmers market, and has manifested
in collaborative artist residencies and facilitating the organization of a
collaborative touring art show with the BisMan Writers Guild called The
Art of Writing. More information about Nicole’s artwork can be found at
