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.

Miki Orihara explores early modern dance and mothers in her newest work.

Around 20 workshop participants pose in front of an abstract oil painting in a bright gallery. They are all in different positions inspired by the artwork. Many stretch their arms out and up as if reaching. Some arch their backs or bend forward.

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.
