Finding Joy at Penn State Rec Fest

 

Thank you for sharing Philly Fringe 2024!

Thank you for sharing in our Joy and in our Tears!

It was a huge milestone for me to be back in Philly and at KYL/D's CHI Movement Arts Center this year. 

On National Dance Day.

On International Day of Peace. 

On the Fall Equinox. 

On September 21. (Yes, go ahead and dance to the Earth, Wind and Fire song. I'll include it for your convenience below.)

But first, here are a few moments from last weekend:

We're sharing new work with some long-time friends in Philly this weekend! Join us on National Dance Day for an evening of movement and reflection! 

Tears? 

Tears?

Things are not always as they appear. 

And sometimes things that look the same have different meanings. 

Behind the Scenes at the River Dance Festival

JCWK Dance Lab was invited to participate in Roxey Ballet's River Dance Festival in August. 

We shared "Bloom" with music by Marty Bonk. The studio theatre at Mill Ballet School was beautiful! Thank you for the opportunity, Roxey Ballet! 

Listen to Claire

Ya know those moments when you're not really sure if you're doing the right thing or in the right place? 

I get those, too. 

For a little over a year, JCWK Dance Lab has been engaging with The Heritage of Green Hills in a weekly Cultural Exchange. The residents openly share their feedback with us and often provide insight and bits of life wisdom. 

Sometimes, they sit with us. Sometimes, they watch our process through the large windows of the studio. We often wave, smile, and try to let them know we see them. 

But we don't always know who's watching us. 

Thank you, Claire, for this encouragement. 

Thank you for being In Nature with us!

Over the weekend, JCWK Dance Lab partnered with Reading Theater Project and the Reading Public Museum to share the four year of In Nature's Studio. 

Dancers, musicians, actors and playwrights take inspiration from the current exhibits in the Museum outside into the Arboretum. 

Thank you for everyone who share the afternoon with us! 

Dance, Dragons, and new Research

We're thrilled to be partnering with Reading Theater Project and the Reading Public Museum for In Nature's Studio, again. 

And during our process, we rehearsed onsite. In the process, we found more friends and collaborators using the museum for creative space.
