|
Sunday, September 21st
6-9pm @ First Unitarian Church (2125 Chestnut St., Philadelphia PA) Tickets: $20 WORKINONIT is one of UMA's signature performance series, entering its 6th year of operation. WORKINONIT unites dancemakers and performers of all levels. There are pieces presented by local professionals, pieces choreographed onto students and pieces made by emerging artists. It is a street dance focused dance salon. Expect more than just performance. Since UMA is a hub for street dance culture, the party is just as critical as the performance. Audience members are invited to groove and celebrate with the performers in between performance sets. The dance ciphers (i.e. freestyle circles) are often a breathtaking spectacle in their own right. We invite you to witness and share with the UMA community in the Philadelphia Fringe edition of WORKINONIT.

Extended Techniques, Abbreviated
|
Saturday, September 27th
7:30pm @ 2100 Chestnut St. Tickets: $10 Extended Techniques, Abbreviated is an exploration of what a solo instrumental performance can be. Featuring a variety of solo pieces for various instruments, each performance will stretch what it means to “play” an instrument, and question what is considered “music.” Through improvisation, composition, household objects, and various frameworks, music will be made in unpredictable ways. Eric McGarry and Jake Kaplan are in demand musicians and composers based in the Philadelphia region. Each artist has decades of traditional study of music under their belt, helping them achieve a vast and creative outlook on the art form. Come join them on their journey through sound, harmony, space, and rhythm. *If you have trouble with the ticket link, email [email protected] for support!

Flow State

Sunday, September 28th
6-9pm @ First Unitarian Church (2125 Chestnut St., Philadelphia PA) Tickets: $20 UMA’s Flow State is a new performance series premiering in Philly Fringe 2025. The event features physically daring and artistically adventurous dance works, fusing the worlds of street, contemporary theater and folkloric dance. Performance material is generated via workshops led by three teams of Philly based choreographers: OreOluwa Badaki, Jonathan Van Arneman & Anna Martone; Allison Smith & Kayliani Sood; Chloe Marie & Alex Brazinski. The choreographic teams share an aim of producing a dance experience that unites virtuosity, whimsy, the ethereal, surrealism and groove. Flow State is an immersive event, somewhere between a party and happening, set to the vibrations and sounds of DJs and live musicians inside an environment of projections and installations that stimulate the senses. *If you have trouble with the ticket link, email [email protected] for support!
