Write Back atcha! tD partners with FringeArts in this years’ Festival

WRITE BACK ATCHA!  

 
thINKingDANCE will host three FREE post-performance “write-back” events after performances during the FringeArts festival this September. Write Back atcha is a post-show “talk-back” combined with a mini-writing workshop, where we will guide audience members through an exploration of the language they use to describe dance. Write Back atcha provides an opportunity for audiences to deepen their engagement with the work on view as well as hone their writing skills with mentored feedback. Questionnaires with simple prompts will be provided to all audience members before the show. Participating audience members’ responses will be collected after the workshop and collated into a crowd-sourced “review” of the performance, which will be published the next day on thINKingDANCE’s website.

 

The event dates and locations are as follows:

 

September 9th, Still Standing You by Pieter Ampe & Guilherme Garrido I CAMPO, 7pm at The Painted Bride 
with workshop leaders Kirsten Kaschock (tD’s editor-in-chief) and Megan Bridge (td’s executive director).

The Stories We Steal and the Stories We Make

Zoe Farnsworth

A rich performance of Kea Tawana’s life and how constructing reality can be both advantageous and destructive.

Awash in a red light, three femme presenting performers dressed in black hold a boat constructed out of tape and twigs. They are putting two halves of it together: one looks like several apartment buildings all together and the bottom is a clearer boat shape. An oversized coat hangs in the background, along with many different puppets from previous moments scattered along the back of the stage.

Afrofusion, Bempa’s Way

Zoe Farnsworth

“Untitled” explodes with queer black joy as Bempa gives the audience his own version of a good time.

A black and white bust shot of Bempa looking forwards with a serene and powerful expression. He is black and wears his hair short cut in a fade. His chest juts out forwards proudly in his collared cross hatched shirt.
