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.

It’s okay to stop and watch the world turn.

room/in/nation tests our agency amidst family dysfunction/nation dysfunction.

three performers wearing plain white or black tanks/tees are mid gesture as if having a family argument. The performer in the front hunches their shoulders, crosses their arms, and has mouth open, perhaps in the middle of a sentence. Behind them, another performer looks to be yelling and pointing at the third performer, a hand on their shoulder, who has eyes closed, a soft smile, and holds their fingertips to the center of their chest.
