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.

Dance Leadership by the Numbers

A Conversation with Elizabeth “Liza” Yntema of Dance Data Project®

At the RISE 2025 Summit held at the New York Library for the Performing Arts, panelists for a discussion entitled “Data is Revolutionary” gather in black office chairs with silver legs in front of a large projector screen that reads “Dance Data Project, Harriet Tubman Effect Institute, & Women Count” in a pastel blue above the title “Data is Revolutionary” in a light yellow. Six circles containing the headshots of the panelists dot the rest of the projection. Amidst the other seated speakers, Nancy Owen stands holding a microphone in her right hand. She leans forward toward the audience, eyes alight, mouth open in speech that slips through an excited smile. In the lower left corner of the frame, a bald man in a crisp blue suit brings the crook of his thumb and second finger to his chin at stage right. He looks out toward the audience with his chair angled away from the six panelists.
