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.

20 Years of iLanding

A hand holds a well-worn book over a sunlit wooden floor, with the shadow of a spider plant beside it. Torn yellow paper scraps stick out as bookmarks. The white cover reads “Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Art Nature and Dance, a Field Guide to iLanding,” above an abstract charcoal drawing of circles, arches, towers, scratches, and stacked squares.
