Move with us and wear comfortable shoes! Project Description: Frances Gremillion and Colleen Hooper created Revolving Spaces in response to history and current cultural trends in South Philadelphia. The performance moves through the Bella Vista neighborhood to reflect the neighborhood’s unique characteristics. Revolving Spaces features dance choreographed by Gremillion, Hooper and Saroya Corbett. Visual artist and performer Suzanne Seesman is designing the historical and cultural research component of the piece by creating a sound score of fragmented memoirs. Composers H.E. Cicada Brokaw Dennis and Kenan Serenbetz are both writing original music that respond to the dance created in the park. A group of A Capella singers will be singing the choral arrangements composed by H.E. Cicada Brokaw Dennis and dancers Katherine Kiefer Stark and Camille Moton are also performing.
