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!

‘Don’t Stop Me Now’: A Philadelphia Dance Extravaganza

Zoe Farnsworth

A community dance extravaganza full of queerness, flirtiness and wild Queen Interpretations.

A giant discoball hangs at the back of the theater, Philadelphia’s “biggest”. The stage is awash in red with a spotlight at the lip of the stage. The theater is empty; there is a sense of anticipation as the discoball takes over the frame of the photo.

Resistance and Art-Making: ‘Dancing Collective Power’

Zoe Farnsworth

Integrating improvisational dance skills into direct action protest

Three performers stand in a triangle in Studio 34. The camera blurs the background and focuses on their upper torsos and faces. The two dancers in backwear jeans and t-shirts; one laughs and the other holds a serious expression, bracing for impact. Together, they support the front dancer’s hips and shoulders. This third performer looks expectantly forward for the shove of another performer not in the photo.
