Dancemaking is a social art form, and the artist John Jasperse says that’s why he chose it from among the arts as a lifetime occupation. Midway through that life, he’s come up with “Becky, Jodi and John.” It’s a meditation on the pains of getting old in a world that’s constantly looking for something new, but it’s also about what endures in a life devoted to a fleeting form of art.
