Founded in 2011, we publish a digital journal focused on the Philadelphia area. Our mission is to: Foster the practice of dance writing in traditional and experimental forms; Contribute to the creative ecosystem by building a historical and social archive of dance and movement-based art; Work to dismantle gatekeeping in dance criticism by engaging the voices of performing artists and writers who have historically been sidelined. We pursue these goals by training together through peer-critique sessions, with guest educators, and a two-tiered editing process. thINKingDANCE is a place where ideas thrive, and where editors and writers engage one another in transformative dialogue.
