Enlisting the creativity of Frank Gehry, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has completed a $233m renovation and reorganisation of the lower interior spaces at the heart of its landmarked 1928 Beaux-Arts building. The latest phase of a master plan for improvements that was approved by the museum’s board in 2004 and involved four years of construction, the so-called Core Project yields nearly 90,000 sq. ft of reimagined public spaces and new galleries that are due to open on 7 May.
South Philly Review
Nichole Canuso digital dance project a hit
Nichole Canuso was well ahead of the curve before the Zoom Boom occurred.
As founder of the Nichole Canuso Dance Company on Moore Street in South Philly, Canuso already had a project involving dance through virtual communication in the works before the pandemic hit.
The work she calls “Being/With:Home” strikes an even bigger chord now in the age of video conferencing and online performances. A guided interaction with a stranger, Being/With:Home is experienced from the participant’s own home via Zoom and addresses solitude, intimacy and adaptive forms of communication through dance and conversation. She calls it a duet with someone unexpected where the audience members are the participants.
