To Dance with a Purple Goblin
Nick Ware + Tori Vincent
Nick Ware and Tori Vincent are emerging artistic collaborators who first met in 2021 while working at Winne's Manayunk. In March of the current year, their creative partnership took off as they embarked on an original dance theater project "The Purple Goblin," initially based on structured improvisation and exploring a blend of dance and untamed vocal expressions. They are eager to expand and refine their work, exploring themes of the ego, mindfulness, fear of self, and integration of self. The upcoming showcase of their innovative piece, titled "To Dance With a Purple Goblin," will take place at The Look Listen on July 15th, with a potluck showing/gathering/discussion to follow at Harmonie Hall on July 29th. Additionally, the project has been granted the exciting opportunity to premiere at the Cannonball Festival 2023, a highlight of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival scheduled for September.
Tickets can be purchased here. Minimum is set at $8, although this is a fundraiser and higher amounts are appreciated.
