First Installment of Bodies of Text!


For the first installment of Bodies of Text, a part of the Philadelphia International Festival for the Arts, idiosynCrazy Productions and Rain Ross dance interpret three unique books, selected from many submissions by Philadelphia Center for the Book members (more information about the collaborations below).

These choreographic creations, all world premieres, will be performed on April 16th at the Community Education Center (3500 Lancaster) at 8 pm. Tickets are available through PIFA at www. Pifa.org.



April's performance will be followed by a discussion between choreographers and book artists, moderated by Mary Tasillo, examining the transformation from printed page to stage, and accompanied by storefront exhibits of artist books and related material. Featured books will be on view alongside the performance.
