Red Light Special

2010-04-19T18:46:00.002-04:00

Annie is leaving for Amsterdam this summer to study improvisational dance with Katie Duck, who is AWESOME.
www.katieduck.com

However, she is poor and doesn't have enough money to live off of while in Amsterdam.
She would prefer to not become a hooker (you understand, I'm sure, although I think Amsterdam hookers get benefits, unlike anyone in the US restaurant industry).

So she is throwing an evening of dance, music, and more music in order to fundraise!

APRIL 30th
Doors open at 8 PM
Tickets: $15-$25 suggested donation

Snip-its and Sounds for a snowy Friday!

2010-02-10T04:25:00.002-05:00

It's shivering a little bit, but this dance and live music series is alive and kicking!

Mascher Space Co-op

directions at http://www.mascherdance.com

It's flipping freezing out, there's snow everywhere, and we haven't been able to get to our jobs this whole week which normally would be nice except now we have no scratch to take our loved one out for valentine's day, or if you're lucky enough to be single, you have no cash to prowl the republican with.

So join us this Friday for a very informal showing of in-progress work, sweet music, and plenty of Lionshead.

Some people presenting work:
Kaleigh Jones
Melissa Putz
Kelly Turner
Annie MacGillivray Wilson

And our house band for the night? None other than
Flat Mary Road!

And the cost? $5 suggested donation to get in, and then if you wanna throw us some cash for the beer, that would be awesome.
ALL PROCEEDS GO DIRECTLY TO THE ARTISTS.

see you there!

On Friday, May 15th at 7:30 PM, PHA dancers Christina, Kaliegh, Jackie, Christine, Annie, and Ashley will be revisiting Ashley Wood's luscious piece (first performed at Fringe 2008) "Fluid Reverie". If you haven't already seen it, or even if you have, come see this piece take over the spacious stage of The Painted Bride Arts Center (our fiscal sponsor). The work incorporates Ashley's flowing choreography with music of The Boards of Canada and body art design by Lauren Palmer.

The piece will be on a mixed bill as part of ContempraDance Theatre presents Philly’s Dance Collective. The event is a bit on the pricey side ($22 adult and $20 student), but we would love it if you could/ are able to attend. You can purchase tickets at the door or call Contempra at (610) 225-3007 or order online at www.danceboxoffice.com

We will also be holding an after-party at Kaleigh's house. After the show, we will meet there for wine, snacks, and conversation. We would love to catch up with you, hear what you have been up to, hear your thoughts on the show and perhaps even bounce some Fringe '09 ideas off of you. You are welcome to come even if you can not attend the show! For directions to Kaliegh's place, call one of us or email her at kaleighkjones@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing you soon! Thanks for your support!

Christina's Dancing in the German Wilderness!

2008-07-17T01:43:00.007-04:00

Christina spent a few weeks in July exploring Berlin and dancing at the Ponderosa Festival in Stolzenhagen, Germany. With the help of cold outdoor showers and a contact improv workshop with Peter Bingham (Vancouver), she learned literally and figuratively how to chill out. With the help of an intensive in performance and improvisation with Kathleen Hermesdorf (San Fransisco) and Stephanie Maher (Stolzenhagen), she remembered just how exhilarating dancing is. And with the help of delicious German beer, freshly grown produce, and breathtaking sunsets, she realized the many reasons why Germany is lovely.

Check out info about the festival at www.ponderosa-dance.de.

Rachel in the NW

2008-07-17T01:43:00.006-04:00

Remember the time you gobbled ’shrooms from that guy hanging out at that punk show you went to, and then stumbled through the nearest doorway, where some homeless dude guided you and seven strangers through the craziest trip of your life? No? Well in case you want to relive that awesome experience you probably wouldn’t have been able to remember anyway, check out the Pink Hair Affair, a dance troupe of eight pink-wigged University of the Arts BFA BFFs.

This article appears in City Paper's CHOICE AWARDS '07.

"
*BEST FRINGE DANCE FIND*
This could easily have turned out to be just another so-so dance outfit trying to turn heads with a catchy name, but the PINK HAIR AFFAIR proved to be a very talented group of young dancers (most from UArts, and some Chris Cox hatchlings) who not only know how to create dances, they can pace and stage a show, too. They accomplished this while doing tech work and making costume changes behind a fluttering curtain tacked across the back of Susan Hess' downtown studio space. Its not where you are, its what you do. --Janet Anderson

Thank you City Paper!!

About Us

2007-11-07T12:21:00.001-05:00

In April 2007, eight graduates of University of the Arts formed a dance collective: Pink Hair Affair. While they all wear rose-hued wigs, each director has a highly unique artistic vision, resulting in a repertory that is anything but monochromatic. The body of work by Pink Hair Affair directors can be humorous, emotional, formal, improvisational, and observational. The cross-pollination of ideas within this collective will forge a fresh vision of dance.

Speaking of SomeBody

2007-05-23T11:55:00.000-04:00

September 14 @ 8pm, September 15 @ 2pm.

Did you hear about Pink Hair Affair's debut performances? Lauren Mathis, Rachel Slater, Christine Steigerwald and Anne MacGillivray Wilson present a night overflowing with athletic, enthralling explorations of subjects everyBody has experienced like nightmares, gender identity, race, shadow, flying in dreamland and the feeling of water like velvet on your skin...when you skinny dip on a late summer night under the moon.

Christine will delve into the human unconscious, exploring dreams, with multimedia by Drew Uthman. The halting rhythms of a madman at the piano ignites a fiery passion in Anne’s unlikely duet. Lauren will eloquently dive into a world of minimalism, her movements derived from yogic tradition and serenity. Rachel will expose the bizarre realm of nightmares, exploring the images the run rampant behind our closed eyes as we slumber.

Mind Fall

2007-05-23T11:34:00.000-04:00

September 13, 15 @ 8pm.

Christina Gesualdi, Laura Jenkins, Jackie Koch, and Ashley Wood will launch a collection of breathtaking and jawdropping short dance works on the Fringe. {The pieces stem from a shared exploration of what happens when an idea pops into a choreographer's head like a cartoon thought bubble, or resounds in her brain like a shrieking ambulance siren, or drips into her consciousnuess like water from a leaky faucet.}

Playfullness and good times will surely ensue with Jackie's trio of girls dancing in barrels (literally!). Laura will present an athletic trio based around a triangular prop created by designer Derik Spence. Ashley's conceptual duet will be a reflection of the ideas of time travel and alternate universes. Christina's trio will patiently focus the eye on the beauty and sensitivity behind the articulation of each dancer's moving body.

Don't Throw That Away!!

2007-05-11T14:41:00.000-04:00

In preparation for our upcoming YARD SALE, Pink Hair Affair is accepting donations! From old clothes to furniture to anything you don't want causing clutter in your house anymore, give it to us!! For pick up contact Christina at 215-901-5226 or gesualdic@yahoo.com

We will continue our fundraising throughout the summer, so keep an eye out!
