THE OLD CITY ARTS HISTORY PROJECT
Peter Baker as BrickMan in Wear White At Nite, Art
Muggings 1977
PDP has received a Discovery
Grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage to research the
legacy and history of artists and their activities, who were living and working
in Old City circa 1975-1985. This
discovery process grows out of PDP’s Local Dance History Project (2010)- which pursued an understanding of the roots of contemporary
dance in Philadelphia. A significant number of dance artists were at the core
of founding and/or creating and presenting work through Old City Arts during
that era. Critical to understanding this evolution is the interplay with other
artists in other disciplines particularly music, theater or performance art and
the visual arts. By exchanging this
information and ideas about this history, artists and audiences may come to
appreciate the depth of work being created today, not only in terms of style
and interdisciplinary interaction, but also the social and urban nexus with
which art connects.
The Discovery process activities will entail identifying the artists, neighbors,
audiences and others who shared in the experience of Old City as an organic
arts phenomenon. We will be working with
scholars, artists and community partners as advisors and participants in
research process.
A CALL for information, materials or personal stories for this history
project, please contact PDP.

“technically
impressive “ “cheeky” “effortless and
buoyant”
“a call and response discourse” “supernatural transformation”
“The artists of Danube/Schuykill demonstrated how dance can
become the embodiment of any political
zeitgeist while highlighting
that it is in exchange where dance becomes most meaningful. I have
been reminded that art is dialogue, and
that movement-something
that has bound humanity together for
thousands of years-can
transgress any boundary and find new
meaning and significance within any agenda”
Courtney Colon, The Dance Journal
The BILATERAL EXCHANGE is made possible with support from the Trust for Mutual Understanding
And our presenting partner the Hungary Workshop Foundation.
