Dance’s body language

Sign of Life, the current project of the new nonprofit dance company Sacramento Contemporary Dance Theatre, makes for a compelling combination of American Sign Language and modern dance. Choreographed by Jacob Montoya, it essentially it takes the movement of sign language and turns it into art. Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Camp Grizzly leadership camp for deaf, hard-of-hearing and other deafness-impacted children. $20; 7:30 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday; Jill Solberg Performing Arts Center, 1655 Iron Point Road in Folsom; (916) 355-1900; www.scdtheatre.org.
