THE OLD CITY ARTS HISTORY PROJECT
Dancer/choreographer
Jac Carley in Jeff Cain’s “Living Room at The Bottom of the
Lake” at ETAGE 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.
