Moving To Philadelphia

pictures on Instagram @ms.cynthiahopkins #MovingToPHL It's almost September, the month of Cynthia's 44th birthday and also the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, in which Cynthia will present a small excerpt from her new work in progress Articles of Faith, as part of Catch Takes Bok. She also plans to see many exciting works in the festival by such inspiring artists as Ann Hamilton, Jerome Bel, Nichole Canuso, Nora Chipaumire, and Martha Graham Cracker, among many others. Cynthia will appear in next year's Fringe Festival in two projects: one by Michael Kiley (scheduled to be our guest next week on Moving to Philadelphia!) and another by Big Dance Theater, the latter serving as inspiration for the song of the week, Bess's Lament, written from the perspective of a young wife who has caught her husband having an affair with their even younger maid, according to the syllabic and chord-shifting structure of a song by My Brightest Diamond.
