Join thINKingDANCE for a series of exciting in  person events around Philadelphia this spring!   First,   thINKingDANCE is partnering with Philadelphia Dance Projects  to offer Write Back Atcha after upcoming performances. Then, don’t  miss our first ever drINKingDANCE, an opportunity to meet  tD writers and readers in a fun, happy hour setting. Read on for more information!

Write Back Atcha is a post-show talk-back and mini-writing workshop led by tD writers. Before the performance, audience members are given a few prompts to shape their viewing of the piece. Afterwards, they are guided through an exploration of language in response to the performance. Audience members    will have an opportunity to see their words published in a crowd-sourced review on our website. To join, stick around after the show.

Rave, or Revelation? Celibate Orgies & Mixed Messaging in The Testament of Ann Lee

Lauren Berlin

In this cinematic story of the Shakers, contradictory messages about the body compete with ecstatic movement sequences

A scene from the 2025 film, The Testament of Ann Lee: Ann Lee (Amanda Seyfried) opens her arms wide and looks on a slight upward diagonal, lips gently parted, gaze forward, or perhaps “beyond.” The reverent gesture takes up the whole horizontal span of the image. Lee dresses modestly in a muted cerulean dress with long sleeves. A cream colored scarf covers her head and wraps around her bust in an X. The image cuts off just beneath the scarf.

Decomposing Mediation: On FRANK

Writings from tD's Emerging Writer's Fellowship

Mulunesh, a Black woman in a thick, hooded raincoat, stands crookedly with her weight shifted over one foot. Her arms are lifted out from her sides and her hands are in fists. She is lit with harsh, bright lights, and boxed in on three sides with heavy transparent plastic. Behind her, a sheet of white marley and two red cables dangle limply, as if caught mid collapse. The floor beneath her feet, made of the same white marley, is spotted with piles of black paper confetti.
