Miryam Coppersmith

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.

The relentless drive of Pink Fang’s “The Table.”

A collective reflection on Vince Johnson’s Original Scrap & First Floor Spectrum.

A spacious dance studio with a gray floor, mirrored walls, and colorful geometric murals is shown during a rehearsal for First Floor Spectrum. In the foreground, two people interact through expressive movement: one stands with an arm extended overhead while the other kneels and reaches upward toward the raised hand. Additional people are visible in the background practicing choreography, while another person stands near the right side of the room, directing. The studio contains chairs, exercise equipment, and a cluster of colorful balloons near the back wall. Natural light enters from windows along the left side of the space.
