thINKingDANCE is excited to announce our next Write Back Atcha series in collaboration with

ArtPhilly’s What Now Festival, running May 27th – July 2nd.

 

Join writers from thINKingDANCE after select festival performances for “Write Back Atcha,” a post-show talk-back and mini-writing workshop. Our facilitators will guide you through a discussion of the performance and exploration of language you can use to describe dance. You’ll have an opportunity to see your words published in a crowd-sourced review right here on thINKingDANCE.
