FALL 2020 PDP Presents
PDP Informances on Zoom
Dance Series September thru December
Mid-Week-Wednesdays at 7PM
Join us for real time interaction with three
choreographers, a historian and a filmmaker.
In this year of
pandemic the definition of zoom has been irrevocably changed.
Now most of us
are spending time on the internet with that brand name,
and PDP’s
signature presentation of Informances will go zooming, too!
The camera
definition of taking a long shot to a close-up most
aptly applies to our new online series in which our signature presentation of
Informances will give inquisitive audience members access to focus in on what
dance people are doing, researching and creating.
Not just talking heads, but video excerpts, visuals and short
dance films will be featured.
The diverse roster of accomplished presenters includes:

DANCE
UP CLOSE
In early March of 2020 we made the decision to postpone the final production of PDP’s Mid-Winter/Mid-Week dance series DANCE UP CLOSE due to a global pandemic.
At that time we thought we could re-set the performances for June or maybe early Fall.
We cancelled our workshops including DanceTAG until further notice.
The season so far had been going very well, with sold out capacity audiences, beautiful performances and excellent press review. (January and February) We were excited about the finale, a mixed program of dance on film and video and live duets and solos. We plan to feature those artists again.
In the meantime you can see the videos of the first two programs of DANCE UP CLOSE 2020 on PhillyCAM. We will post the link soon.
Archiving
work on PDP’s Artists History Projects is ongoing
PDP continues to need and welcome your support. THANK YOU.
