One Week Until The Capitol Fringe

Everybody Knows This Is Now Here

Capitol Fringe, July 10-17, 2014

Katie here: I am patiently awaiting the 4th of July weekend.  It's the first time I get to camp on the coast of the east since moving here from Chicago.  Half of the anticipation is getting my place ready for my departure because I know when I return to Washington D.C., dancers, much like little art-elves, will have descended upon my apartment from their various corners of the countryside and set up shop.  This traveling, meeting, and making is also a big part of the art of Mountain Empire Performance Collective.

Come join us as we present Everybody Knows This Is Now Here, and watch "The Great American Road Trip" go virtual through contemporary dance during the Capitol Fringe on July 10-17, at the Goethe Institut in Washington DC.

Everybody Knows This Is Now Here

Developed primarily via Skype, this multimedia performance explores physical and virtual distance through the lens of female friendship and the Great American Road Trip.  Blending dance, film, personal story and song, the performers search for home in the digital age.

While you wait for the fun to begin, here are some pictures from our Philadelphia foray by the always generous Jen Kertis-Veit.

What is Coming Up This Summer?
