WORKINONIT - Philadelphia Fringe Festival

WORKINONIT

Urban Movement Arts

Cabaret & Nightlife, Dance, Immersive & Interactive Experience, Music, Party

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.

About the Artist

Urban Movement Arts (UMA) celebrates and platforms the ritualistic practices of contemporary Black American vernacular dance and music, sharing how communal gathering and exchange is simultaneously the center point for preserving tradition and artistic innovation. Practitioners ranging from beginners to professionals attend UMA for classes, professional development and performance opportunities. Along with classes, UMA presents lectures, parties and performances. UMA produces events that celebrate traditions while also experimenting within the forms and working on projects that feature cross-cultural exchange. Inspired by the evolution of hip hop and street dance, UMA manages engagement with dance and music, harmoniously intersecting parties, stages and classrooms.
