"Sometimes Franklin seems more like a composer than a choreographer, frequently breaking her pieces into separate ''movements,'' each with its own funky rhythm. Of course, modern dance has very few rules, and Franklin breaks all of 'em."

"It's a natural rhythm if you like to make things, and choreographer Jane Franklin finds a synchrony between movement and image."

"A fine-tuned sense of humor ... and the simple, silly pleasure of keeping a feather afloat with your breath"

"Franklin has the ability to choreograph with a twinkle or a sigh and do both without undue sentiment."

"Peer into the trials and tribulations of love, cohabitation, and relationship that is Niche. This whimsical journey draws in audiences of all kinds whether your bag is music, visual art, dance, or theater."

"'...wildly creative"

"Franklin works remarkably well with children, teasing out of them movements that rarely look canned or forced."

"The workshops were a tremendous success and a real treat for our students, many of whom had never before participated in a dance class."

"Jane Franklin and her troupe have a way of involving people in dance who would have sworn they couldn't dance a step."

"When you 're looking for fresh choreography, it's hard to get more of-the-moment than the Jane Franklin Dance Company 's 24 Hour Dance Project."

"...bring your children to this show full of laughter, fun and play, which in the end has a deeper purpose and most importantly brings the community together."
