Human Landscape Dance is coming to the Painted Bride on Saturday and Sunday May 29th/30th as part of the Philadelphia/Washington DC Dance Exchange. I have had the pleasure of dancing and speaking with Malcom Shute on numerous occasions and have always found him insightful and committed to the art that he and Human Landscape Dance produce. They utilize a lot of Contact Improvisation in the creative process and I encourage you to read his treatise on CI and how they use it here: http://www.hldance.org/node/104 as well as check out their website in general: http://www.hldance.org/
Please come out and support these guys. They’ve come up here for festivals and classes and we can definitely show them some love.
The show is at 7:30PM 29th of May and 3PM on the 30th @ The Painted Bride
They’ll be performing with Anne-Marie Mulgrew and Dancers Co. (http://www.annemariemulgrewdancersco.org/) on a shared bill.
Hope to see you there.

Chris Aiken Tonigh!
A real opportunity to learn from a master of the form…
Chris Aiken, a world renowned teacher and performer (bio included at bottom), will be teaching tonight at The Parlor (1170 S Broad st) rounding out a six week series started by Angie Hauser.
The class is from 7-9 w/ open dancing until 10.
Sliding scale $12-$15 for 3 HOURS of dance, this is an incredible deal for this caliber of teacher, don't miss it!
If you've "been meaning to check out the Monday night contact class," then this is your chance. The class will be taking a hiatus at the end of June. So if you've been meaning to add a little contact improv technique to your bag of tricks and want to do it before everyone jets off for the summer, come on out.
