allowed|aloud is the culmination of two years of research and continued examination into the normalized animalization of women though literature, everyday dialog, and the preconceptions that follow. The research was originally to be presented at the Performance Garage, but due to Covid-19, will now transform into a dance film for this year’s Philadelphia Fringe Festival.
The film will run October 2-4, 2020 and tickets are $12.

With indoor venues closed, outdoor crowds discouraged and audiences encouraged to stay home, Artistic Director, Pamela Hetherington, saw new opportunities to present her work that just were not feasible before COVID-19. “Producing a live tap dance and jazz music concert for longer than a two-show run is extremely cost prohibitive. Another side effect of that is: a short run doesn’t give us the chance to explore new material fully or feel comfortable to take risks. Since I already own a dance space with wood floors, the dancers and the band can easily set up there, once a week, and we can dive into an open format that allows for flexibility, improvisation and virtual audience interaction, still in the moment,” says Hetherington. One more bonus: “this will be the biggest amount of space we have ever had to dance in! Usually, we perform in jazz music settings or venues that aren’t exactly set up for tap dance.”

With dance performances across the country postponed until further notice, The Lady Hoofers Tap Ensemble based in Philadelphia has launched #HoofersAtHome, a weekly series of short dance films designed to keep their roster of professional dancers rehearsing remotely while offering audiences some much-needed levity during the pandemic. The brainchild of Managing Director Katie Budris and longtime ensemble dancer and videographer Meg Sarachan, #HoofersAtHome films have been shared around the world, and many of the ensemble’s Facebook fans are now asking where they too can get their own tap boards.

[Philadelphia] The critically-acclaimed Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers (KYL/D), announce its 12th Spring Home Season performances at Drexel University’s Mandell Theater on Friday, April 17 and Saturday, April 18, 2020. The program, MOVING REFLECTIONS ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMANKIND, will feature the US premiere of FISH AND GIRL, a work that suggests the longing for what is lost in our environment as society marches forward. The program will also feature two acclaimed works: EMPTINESS OF SNOW, a global warming-inspired exploration of forces that are seen and unseen; and SANTUARIO — a moving response to the tragic shootings at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando.
[Philadelphia] – The Lady Hoofers Tap Ensemble is proud to present its third annual production of THE TAPCRACKER, an original all-tap, all-women version of the holiday classic that Camille Bacon-Smith of Broad Street Review hails as “a minor gem […] taking its rightful place among the Philadelphia holiday traditions on the Avenue of the Arts.” Due to audience demand, this year will include an additional Sunday matinee with performances taking place on Saturday, December 14 at 2:00pm and 7:00pm and Sunday, December 15 at 3:00pm at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre, where the Ensemble will now present all their mainstage concerts.
