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.

A conversation with Zaquia Salinas

Zaquia Salinas kneels on a yoga mat in a naturally-lit studio with wood walls and flooring. She embodies a grounded, punk energy, with a half-shaved head and an all-black outfit of a muscle shirt and capri-length workout pants. Her hands gesture out from her body as she speaks to a class of participants who are similarly seated on yoga mats with blocks surrounding them. The participants include one black-haired individual whose head is foregrounded in the image, one white-haired individual in t-shirt and shorts on the opposite side of the room, and a brown-haired person laying down on their stomach reading from their journal as Zaquia speaks.
