 Well I'm John Dowell. I'm an artist and I've been in Philadelphia most of my life. I've traveled a little bit but I've been back and I come back to this one place that I'm interested in because I'm interested in intimate public spaces and Philadelphia has the one. They got written house square and written house square is so wonderful that people refuse to leave even when they die. So you can be there sometimes and I know you can feel them because I feel them. The project is going to be eight four by ten foot panels of photographs of written house square. They're going to be attached to stands on wheels and dancers are going to move them around and interact with them. And then the audience is going to be in this environment, this cathedral-like environment. It was important for me to have this project at the Barnes because about two or three years ago I saw that space and I was thinking about with some dancers and some sound and I realized that hall was perfect and I saw that open space and I said we could do something with that open space so that you can move and control and project into a number of things and also that the barge right now has a vibe that I think it's just it's there and I need that kind of vibe to produce this kind of project because it's unusual, it's different and people might go oh but their lives will never be the same because it'll be an experience. I've worked very closely with Zane Booker, the choreographer and recently in the last year or so I've started talking and dealing with Maya Johnson who is a senior student at the Curtis Institute. Zane can worry about the movement of the body and Maya is definitely going to take care of my contemporary Gregorian chant. This whole project has got more exciting as more involvement with the people and we start working things out to go. I've been striving to present to an audience something that they've had around them all their lives but haven't been aware of and that's for Philadelphia here that's written out square and the audience definitely will walk away with a more appreciation of it and a respect for the city and its thing with it. So on December 8th, please come to the barns and see the Curtis students and John Dowell, it will definitely be an evening you will remember.
