SUMMARY:DANCE UP CLOSE'25 KAYLIANI SOOD\, ALLISON SMITH\, OREOLUWA BADAKI\, ANNA MARTONE\, JONATHAN VAN ARNEMAN
DESCRIPTION:Dancer/Choreographer KAYLIANI SOOD has been invited to curate an evening of dance for PDP’s DANCE UP CLOSE ’25.  She will present a duet “Jumper Cables” created with dancer ALLISON SMITH\, accompanied by drummer STEVE PERRY. \n“Jumper Cables” is a dance of energetic extremes. The dancers  weave a narrative of resilience through the mouthpiece of postmodern\, house and breaking. Unornamented athleticism characterizes their jumps\, gestures\, and floorwork. They labor with one another alongside the live percussion of Steven Perry. Jumper Cables is a practice that pursues a sense of aliveness that exists at the edges of physical capacity. \nFeatured on the same program are dancers OREOLUWA BADAKI\, ANNA MARTONE & JONATHAN VAN ARNEMAN and drummers\nASSUMANE SILLA and JONATHAN DELGADO in their collaborative work “Seed & Sound” exploring diasporic roots that draw on moves in West African neo-traditional dance\, House\, and contemporary dance\,

SUMMARY:Dogberry & Verges Are Scared
DESCRIPTION:Dogberry and Verges Are Scared is a pants-pissingly funny new comedy that follows everyone’s third favorite pair of Shakespearean clowns as they blunder through the events of Much Ado About Nothing and beyond.Their friendship and their wits will be tested as they attempt to foil Don John’s evil plot\, save Fair Hero’s wedding\, and hopefully earn a few ducats while they’re at it. Borrowing from the rich theatrical history that traces its roots from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead to Waiting for Godot to the storied stages of the vaudeville circuit. \n  \nThis rolling world premiere\, produced in partnership with Cincinnati Shakespeare Company\, hopes to shed new light on familiar characters by mixing a modern comedic sensibility and exciting new scenes with a light sprinkling Shakespeare’s own words\, words\, words. It’s chock full of easter eggs for people with a season subscription to the Folger and the perfect gateway drug for those who think “iambic pentameter” is a model of Buick. Starring Philadelphia theater legends Scott Greer and Anthony Lawton\, Dogberry and Verges Are Scared is bursting with heart\, highbrow comedy\, vaudevillian gags\, and… dancing? Only 10 performances. Do not miss this play! \n\n\nRun Time: 90 mins\nTicket Price: $25; $15 for students\nVenue:Christ Church Neighborhood House\n \nDates: September 5\, 2025 – September 14\, 2025 \n\n\nWebsites:\n https://phillyfringe.org/events/dogberry-and-verges-are-scared/\ndogberryandvergesarescared.com

It is about connections\, lost\, broken\, and reconnecting again. It is about resistance. A stance against the winds that blow from Washington. It is about rising from the ashes and finding love and the creative spark again. \nTammy Carrasco will premiere A creature of the garden and cellar A danced duet\, a fractured subject but one porous being\, moves through the depths of interiority in ways that reside in and exceed the borders of the living room. Dancers engage vigorously with the varied terrain of the house\, from descending into the darkness of the cellar\, climbing into the dreams of the tower\, and stepping out into the garden–surrounded by the ethereality of the creatures who reside there.
