[PhiladelphiaDANCE.org Listserv] Modern Dance in Philadelphia Landscapes

[Malcolm Shute]

We are less than two weeks from our first show in Philadelphia.  
Please join us!

This is Malcolm Shute. I direct the modern dance company Human  
Landscape Dance and we are holding free performances in Philadelphia  
parks this July.

Human Landscape Dance will perform Rituals of the First Year at Clark  
Park from 12-2pm on Saturday July 12 and at Liberty Lands from 1-3pm  
on Sunday July 13. Admission is free. Find out more at http:// 
www.hldance.org .

Human Landscape Dance examines the relationship of body with  
environment. By setting our work in public spaces--against a wall, in  
the grass, on a sidewalk--we reveal the hidden beauty of those places  
we pass every day. We bring dance out of the theater to reach people  
who would not ordinarily come across it.

Rituals of the First Year is a set of four dances about the  
experiences of a new parent. In this first year of my daughter's  
life, I continue to discover more about my role as a father. One of  
the rituals that our company explores is talking through touch, the  
primary means of communication with a newborn. We go on to practice  
bonding and separating, and carrying and falling. We hope that,  
watching, you will be struck by something you remember as a parent or  
as a child. Admission is free.

Please pass this around to as many people you know who may be  
interested in seeing some innovative dance under blue skies.

Thanks!
