[PhiladelphiaDANCE.org Listserv] Come to the park this weekend

[Malcolm Shute]

Two days away!

Human Landscape Dance will perform Rituals of the First Year this  
Saturday, July 12, from 12-2pm at Clark Park, 43rd-45th Baltimore- 
Woodland, and this Sunday, July 13, from 1-3pm at Liberty Lands,  
913-961 North 3rd St. We have received such encouraging notes from  
you fine dancers out there and I can't wait to put names to faces!

The goal of Human Landscape Dance is to highlight the beauty of the  
places in which we live. By making artwork that shows off those  
places we pass everyday, Human Landscape Dance renews our  
appreciation of them. Our dances serve as living sculptures, giving  
shape to empty space, offering a human response to the natural world.

Rituals of the First Year reflects my experience as a new father. My  
daughter Maya is eight months old and, as she grows, I learn more  
about my role as a dad. One of the rituals that we practice in my  
choreography is talking through touch, the primary means of  
communication with a newborn. We go on to practice bonding and  
separating, and carrying and falling. I hope that, watching, you will  
be reminded of your own experience as a parent or child.

Tune into WHYY 91 FM this weekend to hear my interview with Alex  
Schmidt.

I hope to see you!
