Actor & The Leading Lady is a dance piece for public space examining how we embody, perceive, and perform power dynamics in real and theatrical relationships. The audience made up of intentional participants (like YOU!) and passersby will find the performers in RED and follow them on a journey that will bring us all to the same location. The work will continue to unfold as the performers bring out four tiny plywood stages (two 2x6 and two 2x4).
Dancers Chloe Marie Newton, Harlee Trautman, Katherine Kiefer Stark, Marisa Illingworth and Sean Thomas Boyt slide, spiral, jump, and fall along the narrow stages set to original compositions by Ajibola Rivers performed live on November 10.

PART II: INSIDE, FREE - Epilogue: Falling Up
Sunday November 10, 5-7pm
West Philly Ballroom and Latin Dance*
4520 Baltimore Ave Philadelphia, PA 19143

Epilogue: Falling Up, is a celebration embracing the effort, imagination, and collaboration around what it means: to move forward; to take a new place in an old story; to step out of cycles. This concluding free event will include a short interactive performance by the dancers accompanied by a singer, opportunities to support the work through purchasing drinks and cake, and space to move and talk about the work and the themes it addresses.

*Thank you West Philly Ballroom and Latin Dance! This awesome new studio is generously working with us to make this part of the project happen.
