Write Back Atchas – spring 2017

Ellen Chenoweth

thINKingDANCE will host three free  post-performance “write-back” events after performances in Philadelphia this spring. A Write Back Atcha is a post-show “talk-back” combined with a mini-writing workshop. Write Back Atchas   are a chance to practice writing and talking about dance.  

This spring our facilitators will be at the following events:

Friday, March 31, Parrot Talk , an original play by Julius Ferraro

Saturday, April 29, Tania Isaac at FringeArts

Friday, May 5, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet at the Prince, Next Move Dance

Some previous Write Back Atchas  occurred after Jerome Bel’s controversial Gala, and  David Zambrano’s Soul Project.

Indelible Release: a Moonscape

E. Wallis Cain Carbonell

“Inside a womb of memories where the water body floats…”

Chloe Marie Newton, a black female dancer wearing a gauzy dark blue tank and Helen Hale, a white female dancer with a long brown ponytail wearing shimmery silver, sit on a light grey marley floor, reclined on one hip with knees gently stacked and one arm intertwined with the other, reaching upwards. They have their backs to us and around and beyond them, we can see pale, cool-toned, sheer fabric. Through and beyond the fabric, we see a row of shadowy-figured audience members, seated and wearing headphones that emit a blue glow.
