Glen Foerd announces the premiere of Dream Etched in a Memory, an original dance performance by choreographer and Glen Foerd’s 2025 Performing Artist in Residence Lauren Putty White, on Saturday, Sept. 20. The performances, free to the public, will be held at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Glen Foerd’s historic riverfront estate.
Blending choreography and improvised movement, White and collaborator Joe Gonzalez bring to life the story of Arthur Laws, Glen Foerd’s early 20th-century butler. The performance reimagines the daydreams of Laws and his wife, Mary, as they navigated life on the margins of privilege and wealth.
Set to a live piano score by Adam Faulk, Dream Etched in a Memory features Jazz Age music drawn from Glen Foerd’s collection. Each performance will be followed by a Q&A session with the artists. Admission is free, with advance registration required.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, Oct. 5,, from 1-4 p.m., Glen Foerd will present ArtsFest, the annual celebration of the Artists in Residence whose culminating work will be on display throughout the mansion. Each artist will present their work and engage in a Q&A with the audience. After the presentations, the celebration will continue with a performance by Guachinangos.
