Constants will lead audience members on a walking journey where stories from the Schuylkill River’s history will be shared with an open and willing audience. Created using a fusion of dance and theater, these stories are birthed from the Lenape People's history, a runaway slave's experience traveling on the Underground Railroad, Philadelphians dying of water borne diseases and present day Schuylkill River Trail enthusiasts. From Monday, September 13th, 2010 to Saturday, September 18th, 2010, Movement Brigade will present this journey. It will begin at the Schuylkill River Trail on Black Rd and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Philadelphia’s West Fairmount Park. Audiences are asked to meet at this location each night to take part in the journey.

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens
1020 South Street, Philadelphia, PA
For directions or info about the Gardens: http://www.phillymagicgardens.org
Tickets: $5-10 at the door
BYOB
This concert is kindly co-produced by Philly's Magic Gardens.
The following artists will present work:
Chasing Arethusa - Chamber Punk, soon to sail across the Sea. Goddess vocals with strings and distorted guitar. The name comes from the water nymph of Greek mythology who was chased by an aroused river god and transformed into a stream which flowed underground. Former members of Lesser Known Neutrinos and Beware!
Gepetta -Puppet-theater and artistic performance that is both imaginative and enlightening, whimsical yet political. Inspired by classic fables and myths, occult symbolism, street art, and surrealism, Gepetta is infused with a pension for social and environmental activism and trans-feminist sensibilities. In addition to the Tranny Roadshow, Geppetta's work has been featured in productions including The Femme Show, Fresh Meat, and Puppet Uprising.
As they Rode Along The Edge - Film adaptation of the humorous feminist fantasy fairytale written in the 1930s by Leonora Carrington, the legendary novelist, painter, mother, lover, and free thinker has been inspiring people around the globe since before World War Two. Amongst the hordes inspired by her rich body of work and collaborating for the first time after more than a decade of friendship are Philadelphia artistic peers Mandy Katz and Justin Duerr. For this project they began meeting in September ‘09 for weekly drawing sessions and created over 80 ink and watercolor paintings to illustrate the beautiful narration by poet Ish Klein. The paintings were filmed flip book style in the midst of a candlelit altar created for the paintings to nest within. With sound effects and musical score collaged into the mix, a snowglobe world was created with handmade immediacy.
