PS #1: Spotlight on Philadelphia

What portion of the dance ecosystem in Philadelphia would you like to shine a light on?  Name it here, and tell us why.
Lisa Kraus How about the ‘Batizado’ at the Capoeira Arts Center when great Mestres (like super black belts) come from Brazil to ‘test’ the capoeiristas? It’s like a party full of the most sneaky, bouncy, seemingly impossible movement.
Lewis WhittingtonLisa, really impressive and these writers are going to be wonderful voices in our field. Your orchestration will be invaluable. Salut to you & the writers

.Lisa Kraus · Performing Arts Coordinator at Bryn Mawr CollegeThanks, Lew. Hope you’ll weigh in with your own opinions.We need your voice too!

Apocalypse: We Hold Us

Xander Cobb

The only things left to live for are our lover’s touch and dancing all night.

The light’s red, the stage black. Dramatic. Devilish. Contrast and shadow are high on the six people in frame. Dead center, a dancer lays. Around her, four people point, laugh, and crouch over her body making the “loser” L on their forehead. In the bottom left corner, someone's leg, hip, and reaching hand are just in frame.

Barre, Club, Another Club

Nadia Ureña

One must imagine Petipas at the function.

Five women wearing a mix of ballet attire and club wear crowd an empty bathtub in a white-tiled bathroom. Two of the women sit on the tub's edge. The other three sprawl out inside the tub. All five look up. The camera captures them from a high angle. Along the walls costumes including silk dresses and white tutus hang.
