At 40 years old, Chris Davis seizes on ballet class as a way to replace all other addictions – drugs, alcohol, Modern Family and the toxic tropes of 90s John Cusack movies. With only a barre for support, Fringe favourite Chris Davis mixes dance and storytelling in a 50-minute comedy that shows you change is always possible, no matter what your age. 'The kind of innovative spirit that the Fringe was originally created to showcase' **** (List).
Studio 34 is a mixed-use yoga/healing/arts spot in West Philly named for the trolley that stops
out front. All year long we host art, comedy, dance, music, poetry and theatre in our gallery,
lounge, and studio spaces, as well as healing services, 30 weekly yoga classes. And a wide array of workshops.
