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!

The Sand Is Alive

Brendan McCall

Dance, glass, and music invite a deeper contemplation of sand

A woman is in a headstand, while a man stands nearby with his arms raised in shadow to her right. Both wear tan, form-fitting clothes with strips of white plastic running along the outside of their limbs and backs. On the white walls are unusual glass sculptures that look like waterways.

Cryptic Precision: On Vanessa Kamp’s ‘Houndstooth’

Mang Su

'Houndstooth' unleashes the subversive power of parody with bewildering precision.

Seen from a low angle against a black background, a performer wears black blazer and bright red shorts with a black drawstring. Crinkled yellow cellophon covers their mouth and cascades down their chest, with a loose flap jutting to the left. They look down toward the camera, one hand raised near their abdomen and the other hanging beside their thigh.
