Human Landscape Dance has a clearly unique and simply gorgeous website.  Human Landscape Dance Company will perform at Philadelphia's famous, well-known Painted Bride, at 230 Vine Street, Phila., PA  19106, 215-925-9914, and what an extravagant event it will be.

The Philadelphia/Washington, D.C. Exchange performance will take place Saturday, May 29 at 7:30 p.m., and again on Sunday, May 30, at 3:00 p.m.

First of all, check out the website.  Then, of course, forget anything else and go to a show.  See this amazing company perform with talent, precision and clarity in movement.

Founded in 2006, this unusual movement company has performed on the east coast and in London UK.   This new and contemporary dance company performs in theatres and in public spaces such as parks and galleries and the Painted Bride performance is something you definitely do not want to miss!

The following is a taste of what you will see at this amazing event:  "January Night"  includes Amanda Abrams, Alexander Short and artistic director Malcolm Shute twisting in deep and nurturing movement through the air like icicles on a night that is absolutely freezing.  This dance is the reflection of 3 friends in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. trying very hard to cope with a difficult and horrid snow storm.  All movement is lined with passion and intensity, staging that the friends do not go "nuts" during this storm, which is deeply alarming, as there is a deep blanket of snow everywhere.

Human Landscape Dance and Anne-Marie Mulgrew and Dancers Company will restage "The BIg Dance" as well as perform "Burn" which is a premier.

"Closet Dance" will be set in a closet and 4 friends will be trying to get out through the art of  gentle movement, love, aggression and anticipation.  The following are part of "Closet Dance" --  a)" Keeping Secrets" which is about lovers not being honest;  b) "Hooked" dances the theme of lovers who attract and repel each other simultaneously;  c) "Shadowing"  moves to the dance of one friend overshadowing the other, and finally d) "Security Chain" is a dance in the closet where all hold hands and then, one, breaks the chain. . .seeking new freedom outside the box for these talented and established dancers.

Human Landscape Dance tackles themes such as family, environment, earth, water and more.  The Painted Bride will be filled up for this one-of-a-kind event.  The emphasis at this event will be on movement, dance, and a body and mind connection through innovative and transformative power.

Check out the website, buy tickets, show up, and you'll see an unusual and fantastic dance movement show that intrigues the audience and keeps us wanting more.
