Editor’s Note: Indiegogogo!

Lisa Kraus

Who knew that May was the season for fundraising? Just as June is all about weddings, May seems to be when the Philadelphia dance community asks you to come dance in a Marathon (at the Performance Garage) or at a hot Latin fest (Cinco de Miro) or to enjoy a Cabaret (Nichole Canuso). Other folks are raising money through crowd-sourcing for wonderful upcoming productions. We hope everyone meets their fundraising goals!

If thINKingDANCE is also asking for your contributions what sets us apart? It’s this – we are serving all of those organizations and companies and more.

What will our campaign fund? Pay for writers, editors, workshop leaders and workers on its Education scheme and Editorial Board along with some needed web upgrades.  In the simplest terms: we need to pay our people. Get the details and donate to our Indiegogo campaign here. Thank you!

Mujeres in Motion

Caedra Scott-Flaherty

Ballet Hispánico’s 56th season is an exciting women-led tour of the Latine diaspora.

Three dancers, two men and one woman, stand on a stage covered in bright autumn leaves. The background is black. They stand in a wide stance, holding thick black rolls over their heads. The man on the left, in gray pants and a t-shirt, looks up at the roll. The brunette woman wearing green pants and a brown tunic stares directly out. The man on the right, dressed in a red suit and white dress shirt, also looks straight forward.

Douglas Dunn’s Post-modern Pastoral

Brendan McCall

An intrepid choreographer examines classical forms through a post-modern lens

Douglas Dunn stands wearing a bright yellow mask which covers his eyes. His right arm is extended to his side while his other rests on a wooden chair painted with yellow flowers. He wears a grey vest, red tie, and dark pants--a contrast to dancers Dongri Suh and Janet Charleston who stand behind him weaering flowered garlands around their heads and wear tulle skirts. A video of two waterfalls is projected onto the wall behind them.
