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.

Is Halprin’s postmodernism as radical today as it was in 1967?

Blank Placard Dance, Replay in Philadelphia

Dancers stand close together, forming a clump. They face in all directions, their bodies back to back, front to back, and back to side. Each one grips a wooden post holding high attached white posters. They wear bright yellows, purples, reds, blues, pinks, teals, and oranges. Some are visibly sweaty. Dancers facing the camera look serious and a bit fatigued. Glimpses of blue sky, clouds, a street, and city buildings fill the cracks between their blank signs.
