“All Aboard the Joy Train!” invites families, performing arts fans, train enthusiasts, and history buffs to explore the tracks that bring us together. A collaborative, creative placemaking performance spearheaded by JCWK Dance Lab and the The Reading Company Technical and Historical Society (RCT&HS) at the Reading Railroad Heritage Museum (RRHM), the experience combines technological and cultural history, storytelling, contemporary dance, and original music. The performance models and reflects the influence of the Reading Railroad on community building, cultural development, artistic integration, and scientific innovation. “All Aboard the Joy Train!” celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States, the RCT&HS’s 50th anniversary, and JCWK Dance Lab’s 10th anniversary. JCWK Dance Lab is a Berks County-based contemporary dance troupe. The company utilizes dance to create Joy, Connection, & Wellness through Kinesthetic (body) stories. The Reading Railroad Heritage Museum is the educational and interpretive center for the extensive collections of the Reading Company Technical and Historical Society where broad archival and artifact collections are housed for education and research.
