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.

The Sand Is Alive

Brendan McCall

Dance, glass, and music invite a deeper contemplation of sand

A woman is in a headstand, while a man stands nearby with his arms raised in shadow to her right. Both wear tan, form-fitting clothes with strips of white plastic running along the outside of their limbs and backs. On the white walls are unusual glass sculptures that look like waterways.

Cryptic Precision: On Vanessa Kamp’s ‘Houndstooth’

Mang Su

'Houndstooth' unleashes the subversive power of parody with bewildering precision.

Seen from a low angle against a black background, a performer wears black blazer and bright red shorts with a black drawstring. Crinkled yellow cellophon covers their mouth and cascades down their chest, with a loose flap jutting to the left. They look down toward the camera, one hand raised near their abdomen and the other hanging beside their thigh.
