A live documentary of dance.
From Pones, Inc.
Show Description: Based on interviews from over 100 people, That One Show creates a dialogue about how dance can maintain its relevance, personal significance, and artistry with individuals today. Incorporating movement, theatre, video, and music, That One Show explores a variety of existing relationships to dance and an array of suggestions about how to reshape or progress the art form. Presented as a live documentary, this project re-arranges theatrical conventions in a unique and unusual way asking audiences to expand their perception of traditional dance.
Most Fringy Thing: That One Show IS: written by over 100 participants, created in collaboration with 22 artists from multiple disciplines, and an ongoing project that anyone can re-create. That One Show IS NOT: performed on a proscenium stage with costumes, told from one perspective, a dance concert, a play, nor a video.
Artist/Company Bio: Pones Inc. Laboratory of Movement is a non-profit, movement based performance art group dedicated to creating original work that blends dance, theatre, music, poetry and more. Founded in 2008 by Northern Kentucky University dance and theatre alumnae Kim Popa and Lindsey Jones, Pones Inc. collaborates with a diverse range of artists. As writers, directors, choreographers, producers, and performers their work typically begins as an autobiographical experience and often incorporates audience participation. Pones Inc. is unique in that it does not hold permanent company members nor a permanent space. Pones Inc.'s, The Four Food Groups won 2nd place in the 2008 Cincinnati Director’s Competition, and the Cincy Fringe debut of The Factory was nominated for a Cincinnati Entertainment Award for Best Alternative Show in 2008.

Cincinnati Gets the Fringe of It
From Soapbox Magazine
"What's the difference between dancing and moving? What's the difference between music and sound?" Lindsey Jones asks as she explains the original impetus for That One Show, which will be performed by Pones Inc at the Cincy Fringe Festival this June.
"That's what we want people to ask themselves when they see this show, and that's what we asked people during the interviews we did to prepare for it."

Pones Inc.’s oddly titled That One Show might be described most simply as an interactive documentary on the topic of dance. I say "oddly titled" because one might expect some mention or suggestion of dance therein. Perhaps the ambiguity might draw people in? I mean, it's a fun, memorable title. But I digress …

Randy 3* Suzana 2* Klara 2.5* * FRINGIEST *
Here is a show about dance. It has a lot of excellent details- like a video of seats filling up as
you walk in, and each seat has a program on it that says RESERVED, and the cast talks to
you as you arrive. It combines acting, movement/dance, video interviews well edited,
video of street performance, and audience interactions. All these elements are build into
a look at dance- what it is, what it means, how we feel about it, how we participate. It was
weirdly multimedia in a very smooth combination, making it FRINGIEST. The end was
all film of interviews, giving thoughtful views of dance and where it can go. This Suzana
and Klara found dull compared to most of the show. That is why they gave it lesser ratings.
TheConveyor Review: That One Show
Is Dance Movement? Is Movement Dance?
My interest in Dance as an art form has long been lacking. That interest has grown a bit in recent years, but I always felt that I was shortchanging the form. Dance to me was more personal, more interactive. It was something you did with your date at Prom or at a wedding. Pones, Inc's production of That One Show taps into the meaning of Dance/Movement with many perspectives of what the art form is, and is not. It looks at what it means to everyone, individually from childhood to the more formal adult expression.

Movement on the Fringe
by David Lyman, Cincinnati Enquirer

What exactly is the difference between dance and movement? When do words become a play? Or, for that matter, what does it take for a chunk of metal to be considered sculpture?
For Kim Popa and Lindsey Jones, the founders and artistic directors of Pones Inc., a Cincinnati-based performance art group, questions such as these just scream to be probed.

Find out what others think about dance — and maybe shift your own perceptions — at the third Fringe production from locally based performance art group Pones Inc. Laboratory of Movement. Interviews with more than 100 people became fodder for a multimedia exploration into the relevance of dance and people’s relationships to it.
Presented in a “live documentary style,” their interdisciplinary work promises suggestions of how to progress the form — even as it does so right then and there. If this show is like Pones Inc.’s prior Fringe appearances, expect a lively time sprinkled with tongue-in-cheek wit and wisdom alongside engaging group dynamics.
