The Live Arts & Philly Fringe Festival Starts this Weekend!

Posted by Samantha Lazar on August 30, 2010

The beginning of September is when University City shakes off its lazy summer vibe and springs to life again, awash with the freshly tanned faces of university folk and locals returning from summer vacation, all ready to jump back into their school year routines. But let's break that routine before it gets too ingrained. What better way to do so than with that other hallmark of the summer-to-autumn transition, the Live Arts and Philly Fringe Festival!

The festival kicks off this Friday and will run for two performance-packed weeks at venues all around the city including, of course, our fair West Philly. “The Festival” is actually two separate festivals under the same cover – Live Arts consists exclusively of shows by a handful professional companies that have been selected to perform, while Philly Fringe is a massive extravaganza of almost 200 different productions put on by professionals and amateurs alike. Both festivals are overflowing with the vibrancy, energy, and excitement of experimental and avant-garde performances, and you never know quite what to expect when you walk into a show.

This year’s festival has an emphasis on theater, of course, but also includes tons of shows that are better classified as dance, music, comedy, improve, visual art, puppetry, and even “buskers.” The official Festival website has all the info you could possibly need, including an online box office (the already cheap tickets are extra cheap for students and anyone under 26). Check out the show finder tool to hone in on performances taking place in West Philly. For Live Arts, they include the Bang on a Can Marathon at World Café Live, a documentary about Headlong Dance Theatre, and “Stew and the Negro Problem,” a performance by an Afro Baroque cabaret that’s halfway between rock concert and theater. There are tons of Fringe performance going on in the neighborhood as well, including theatre, comedy, and a one-night mini-festival by Penn’s experimental theatre company, iNtuitons.

Check out the festival guide or the website to choose your favorite, and be sure to catch as many shows as you can!

Free Summer Performances: Rennie Harris RHAW, KeturahNicole, and Project Capoeira Strut Their Stuff Outside the Free Library

Posted by Samantha Lazar on August 23, 2010

Summer may be drawing to a close, but it’s not over just yet. Capitalizing on the warmth before it wanes, University City District, Penn, and the Rotunda have teamed up to offer a fabulous free outdoor dance show. We’re not talking tutus and ballerinas here – we’re talking about rocking, hopping, acrobatic moves to Afro-Brazilian beats and athletic street dancing.

On Saturday evening three Philly-based dance companies will take over the green space behind the Free Library at 40th and Walnut. Two performers you might not be familiar with are KeturahNicole, a West Philly breakdance and funk troupe, and Project Capoeira, which performs dances that merge rhythmic music, intense gymnastics, and deadly martial arts moves. In fact, “Capoeira” was a dance form originated by African slaves in Brazil as a secret cover for practicing the fighting techniques that the salves used to fight off colonizers. How cool is that?

In addition to those exciting groups, the world-famous Rennie Harris will take the stage with RHAW, his youth-driven company. A Philly native, Harris’s street dancing company Rennie Harris Puremovement has garnered an international reputation. RHAW teaches and performs exhilarating street moves like Campbell Locking, Popping & Boogaloo (the best-named technique, for sure), as well as House and Hip Hop dance. Don’t worry if you don’t have a clue what any of these techniques are – that will just make it all the more thrilling.

Checking out these exciting homegrown companies will make for an awesome late-summer evening. Oh, and did I mention there will be free Rita’s water ice?

Free Summer Performance, Outdoor Dance Event
Saturday, August 28th at 6 pm
40th and Walnut, behind the Free Library

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” – Free Shakespeare in Clark Park!

Posted by Samantha Lazar on July 26, 2010

Free, outdoor theater performances in public parks on summer evenings: it’s one of the great traditions of summer. Shakespeare plays are undoubtedly the most chosen for these picnic performances; I don’t know why that is… maybe it’s their universal appeal, their familiarity, the outlandish humor of the comedies, or the undeniable brilliance of the bard. Whatever it is, there’s no doubt that Shakespeare is tops – and the most performed of all his park-staged plays is certainly the comedic gem that is perfectly suited to both wooded glens and a summer evenings: “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Shakespeare in Clark Park, West Philly’s resident Shakespeare company, is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year with the classic production. Their shows are always stellar, with solid acting, impressive production values (the show is outdoors, for crying out loud!), and overflowing energy. The production will expand on an awesome element of last year’s show by including a musical component. Instead of just a few bizarre musical interludes, a three piece band will be accompanying the performers, featuring unique compositions played on accordion, violin, and percussion. Shakespeare wrote song-and-dance sequences into the play but didn’t include any actual musical notations, so this production will bring the segments to life and would certainly make him proud. Spectators’ picnic blankets, lawn chairs, bottles of wine, and romping dogs will combine with the excitement of the show and the loveliness of Clark Park to create a festive one-of-a-kind atmosphere.

The show will run for five performances, opening on Wednesday night and running through Sunday night, always at 7pm. Get there early – crowds on weekend nights can top 1,000 audience members, and prime seating gets claimed quickly! (In the event of rain, the performance gets moved inside to the Calvary Center at 48th and Baltimore.)

Catching a performance is a cultural rite of summer. Put it on your calendar: with Puck, Oberon, and Titania flitting about Clark Park (on BMX bikes, rumor has it), it’s sure to be an enchanted evening.

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream”
Presented by Shakespeare in Clark Park
Wednesday, July 28 - Sunday, August 1, 2010
All Performances at 7PM

Silk Road Summer Nights: a Pay-What-You-Want Wednesday Evening Music Series at the Penn Museum

Posted by Samantha Lazar on July 7, 2010

What’s there to do on a sultry Wednesday evening this summer? You could venture eastward across to the bridge for Center City Sips special happy hour deals, but you’d work up quite a sweat just getting there, and then fighting for space at a bar. You could catch a Metropolitan Opera performance at the Rave University City 6 movie theater (formerly The Bridge) – more on that in an upcoming post! Or, seeing as we’ve been spotlighting the fabulous programs of the Penn Museum lately, how about checking out their Silk Roads Summer Nights music series?

Step out of your over air conditioned office or classroom at 5 o’clock tonight – or any Wednesday night this summer – and head over to the museum’s beautiful Warden Garden. A different ensemble will be playing each week, and all have exotic, eastern-inspired sounds. You won’t even have to forgo that obligatory happy hour cocktail, as they’ll be serving up drinks and light fare to nibble on while listening to music inspired by different stops along the ancient Silk Road, which connected the east and west.

In addition to the music, the pay-what-you-want program (that’s almost as good as free!) also opens up select museum galleries for perusing. It takes place every Wednesday from 5 to 8 all summer long, rain or shine. There’s even wifi in the garden, creating an environment that’s perfect for any type of person: bust out the laptop and do some work while enjoying beautiful weather, lovely live music, and sipping a cocktail. Or duck inside for a respite from the heat and check out the museum’s collections before heading back to the festive concert.

Tonight’s event will feature an ensemble from Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture playing Egyptian music. Click here for the full schedule of who’s playing each week, along with more info on the events. You can always count on the Penn Museum for programming that’s fun, cultural, and a great way to break your dull routine!

Free Jazz in Cedar Park Puts Some Swing in Your Step Friday Evenings

Posted by Samantha Lazar on June 24, 2010

If farmers' markets, dollar strolls, and dining al fresco haven't put you in summer mode yet, how about the sultry strains of jazz wafting through the park on a warm Friday evening? If you haven't caught Cedar Park's weekly jazz concerts yet, you're behind the curve – they've been going on for almost a month even though summer officially began just this week.

Like any good event in a park, the concerts are free and casual, so you can come and go as you please. Relax for the full two hours if you've got the time, and hang out afterward to chat with neighbors or stroll down Baltimore Avenue in search of dinner (sorry, you'll have to wait a couple more weeks for the next Dollar Stroll!) Or, if you're in a bit of a rush (but really, who's in a rush on a warm summer evening?), swing by for just a few minutes.

Tony "Stickman" Wyatt Crew will be this week's artist. Wyatt is a jazz master and is recognized as one of the top drummers in the tri-state region, having played with Hank Mobley, James Moody, and Bootsie Barnes, among others. Check out the full schedule of upcoming bands here. The concerts are yet another great community event hosted by this little triangle of a park, and one of the things that make living and playing in this neighborhood so enjoyable.

Friday Night Jazz in Cedar Park
6 - 8pm, Friday nights (weather permitting)

New Production of “Romeo and Juliet” at the Annenberg Center

Posted by Samantha Lazar on April 22, 2010

A special touring production of Shakespeare’s classic “Romeo and Juliet” is at The Annenberg Center this weekend. The Acting Company and The Guthrie Theatre have teamed up for the production, which is running for just six performances. After hitting 26 cities on around the country, the Annenberg Center will be the critically-acclaimed production’s last stop.

I assume I don’t need to repeat the plot of the greatest love story of all time – everyone knows the tale of the young star-crossed lovers, their family feud, their drastic measures, and their tragic ends. What makes the play so brilliant isn’t the story itself (Shakespeare actually ripped it off from an earlier Italian author!), but the way it’s told. Part of the magic comes from the bard himself, what with his flowery Elizabethan language, world-famous soliloquies, and quotable truisms. But another part – and the part that makes it worth seeing multiple times over the years – comes from the performance itself.

Three Exciting Events at the Penn Museum

Posted by Samantha Lazar on March 17, 2010

Here’s a question you don’t get every day: What to belly dancing, sexuality, and helping the needy all have in common? If you’re smart enough to read the headline you might have guessed already – they’re all upcoming events at the Penn Museum (aka The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, one of the greatest history museums in the world)!

The museum regularly hosts workshops, lectures, performances, and other events in addition to its regular exhibits and programming (check out my previous profile of the museum ). There are three great events coming up in the next week....

Elena’s Soul: YOUCIE Karaoke in Baltimore Avenue’s Soul Food Mecca

Posted by Samantha Lazar on February 12, 2010

Elena’s Soul, described as a “showcase lounge and café” is a mix between a dark bar, a chill lounge, a hip café, a glowing den, and a raucous party – all with soul food thrown in. The place (for lack of a better term) is on 49th and Baltimore, and is filled with regulars seemingly every night of the week. One of the times it comes alive most, though, is Wednesday evenings when DJ Kev busts out the karaoke machine.

Karaoke at Elena’s Soul is a unique West Philly event, making it the perfect spot for the next YOUCIE event. YOUCIE is University City’s young friends group, and they regularly hold events throughout the year for young professionals and over-21 students to mix, mingle, and enjoy what the area has to offer. The event will be Wednesday evening, February 17th, and the bar will be running happy hour specials the whole time. But, even better, if you RSVP (address below), you’ll get your first drink free! ...

Pecha Kucha Night at Studio 34!

Posted by Samantha Lazar on January 27, 2010

Ever heard of “Pecha Kucha” (pronounced peh-CHAK-cha)? From the Japanese word meaning “chit-chat,” Pechu Kucha has been dubbed “show-and-tell for the 21st century.” It’s essentially a Power Point presentation unlike all the boring ones that lulled you to sleep in dim lecture halls. Rather, it’s interesting, informative, and often very funny. What makes it special is that it’s rapid-fire: the presenters show 20 slides, each for only 20 seconds. The slides generally have very few words on them – you’re supposed to listen and look, not read info.

Baltimore Avenue’s Studio 34 has played host to several Philly Pecha Kucha presentations in the past, and this Saturday (Jan.30) will be the fourth installment. Studio 34 is a great venue...

The Penn Ice Rink: Skating Central for University City

Posted by Samantha Lazar on January 14, 2010

There's no doubt that winter has hit hard this year. What with the freezing temperatures, that massive blizzard, and ice choking the Schuylkill, Philly has certainly taken on the feel of an arctic city. You could complain about the cold. Or, instead, why not embrace the season with one of winter's most time-honored activities? Go ice skating!

A lot of people know about the ice rink at Penn's Landing on the Delaware River, but for those of us on the western side of the city there is a rink much closer to home, The Penn Ice Rink at the Class of 1923 Arena, on 31st and Walnut, which is celebrating its 40th season this winter. The rink is home to hockey teams from local universities and high schools, and it also hosts Open Hockey for anyone who wants to practice their skills and have some fun. They offer skating lessons (private and group) as well....

World Café Live: Live Music and Tasty Food – a Perfect Combination

Posted by Samantha Lazar on November 24, 2009

World Café Live is a gem of a music venue. Just barely on our side of the Walnut Street bridge, it’s close enough to Center City to draw in a varied assortment of people (including those ignorant types who think anything west of the Schuylkill is a hike), and its proximity to 30th Street Station makes it possibly the most accessible venue in the city.

Always bustling, World Café is a two level music venue, the home of WXPN, and a fabulous restaurant all rolled into one. Their programming is varied and prodigious (check out the full upcoming schedule here), with shows playing almost every day of the week. They bring in local acts as well as big name stars, and the shows are usually aimed at adults (you won’t find many screaming teens in attendance, though you’ll probably spot a few people pushing sixty). ...

Shakespeare’s “Love’s Labour’s Lost” at the Annenberg Center

Posted by Samantha Lazar on October 28, 2009

The Globe Theatre of London, arguably the world’s best Shakespeare company, is at The Annenberg Center for just five days, performing a rowdy, energetic, and altogether excellent performance of “Love’s Labour’s Lost,” one of the bard’s earlier and lesser-known comedies.

The company normally performs in a London venue that is more like a stadium than a theater – it’s a reconstruction of the open-roofed Renaissance theater that Shakespeare’s works were originally performed in. For this rare U.S. tour – the company’s first in four years – they are re-creating the feel of their famous home stage, and the Annenberg’s Zellerbach Theatre fills the role admirably. The lights stay on in the house the whole time (in London, with no roof and no stage lights, works were and are performed by daylight), and the actors...

Ready > Run at the Klein Art Galley: Classic Video Games Gone Crazy!

At least, they did for the artists whose work is currently on display in the Esther M. Klein Art Gallery’s “Ready > Run” exhibit, which is running until November 7th. The gallery is dedicated to exploring the intersections between science, technology, and art, and is in the lobby of the Science Center at 36th and Market Streets.

Peoplehood Parade & Pageant: Saturday, 10/24!

Posted by Samantha Lazar on October 19, 2009

Get excited for one of the most unique sights of the season: Spriral Q Puppet Theatre’s 10th annual Peoplehood Parade and Pageant.

Originally scheduled for Saturday October 17th, the event has wisely been pushed to the following week, the 24th, due to horrendous weather. Hopefully the sun will smile on West Philly and the true colors of the parade will shine forth – because, oh boy, there are a lot of colors!

If you’re not familiar with it already, Spiral Q is something of a blend between a puppet theater (regularly putting on performances), a giant puppet factory (the puppets themselves and the sheer number that they churn out are both giant, and are on display at their museum), and a community organizer and neighborhood touchstone....

Schuylkill Banks River Tour: A Float Through History

Posted by Samantha Lazar on October 13, 2009

In Dutch "Schuylkill" means "hidden river." During Philadelphia's early history it was "hidden" because it was so far away from the center of town, which was alongside the Delaware, that few city dwellers ever ventured over to its banks (though my main man Benny F. was a big fan of its tranquility and liked to relax on its shores). During the industrial era people wished it was hidden, but had a hard time avoiding its filth and stench -- for years a slaughterhouse near 30th Street poured steams of blood and offal directly into its waters. Nowadays, though, the Schuylkill doesn't deserve its dirty reputation; The Schuylkill River Development Corporation has been working hard to revive the river, and it is no longer the wasteland of its industrial days. Over 45 species of fish now thrive in its waters, people run and jog alongside...

The Annenberg Center: Like the Kimmel, but Farther

Posted by Samantha Lazar on September 24, 2009

The Annenberg Center, conveniently located on Penn’s Campus, is one of Philadelphia’s premiere performing arts venues. Every season their three theatres host a huge array of programming, ranging from music, to dance, to theatre, to student productions.

The critically acclaimed “Penn Presents” series brings outstanding professional productions to West Philly, and this fall’s line-up is looking exceptionally fabulous. “Thank You Gregory,” which runs from October 6th through 10th, is “a tribute to the legends of tap.” The show will feature live music, dancing (of course!) and multimedia projections, paying homage to big names like Fred Astaire and Gregory Hines. After “Thank You Gregory” comes “MacHomer,” a one-man blend of “MacBeth” and “The Simpsons” that’s sure to fill the nearly 1,000-seat Zellerbach auditorium. Rick Miller performs the hysterical spectacular, imitating 50 voices from “The Simpsons” while performing a version of “MacBeth” ...

The Live Arts & Philly Fringe Festival in U. City

Posted by Samantha Lazar on September 13, 2009

It’s early September, which means the Live Arts & Philly Fringe Festival is in full swing! Every year the festival inundates the city with two weeks of experimental and edgy performances spread across the whole metropolitan area. Luckily, many of the shows are happening at venues throughout West Philly.

I was lucky enough to catch the Live Arts experimental dance/performance art piece “STORE” this past weekend. A world premiere, it was the third and final piece of the “American Spaces Trilogy,” following on the heels of past years’ fringe productions “HOUSE” and “CAR.” An interdisciplinary performance company, Kate Watson-Wallace/Anonymous Bodies, took over the former Rite Aid on 42nd and Walnut and turned the empty store into an overwhelmingly surreal space ...

Performances, Festivals, and More at The Rotunda

You know about The Rotunda, right? It’s hard to find someone in West Philly who isn’t at least passably familiar with the gorgeous old church-turned-arts-venue at 40th and Walnut.  Once a little-used empty space whose awesome architecture had fallen into disrepair, the building was taken over in 1996 and transformed into a community gathering place determined to use art as a catalyst for social change. Situated on the edge of Penn’s campus, many efforts aim at building bridges between the university and the surrounding community. ...

Free Shakespeare in Clark Park!

Posted by Samantha Lazar on July 31, 2009

Ah, Shakespeare in the park. It’s one of those unofficial rites of summer that people come to expect. If you’ve never seen a Shakespeare performance in a park before, you might not understand what’s so great about it – which is all the more reason to get yourself to Clark Park to see the “The Comedy of Errors” this weekend!

Clark Park is a gem of West Philly, coming alive with children, dogs, exercisers, the farmers’ market and more every summer. Adding to the fun, Shakespeare in Clark Park had been producing free outdoor plays since 2005.  This year’s choice is one of the bard’s most popular comedies, and the play features a whole slew of Philly’s comedic actors, with Luigi Sottile (as Antipholus of Syracuse) and David Sweeney (playing many different characters) turning in especially hysterical performances.
