Anne-Marie will research and explore the stories and memories of older Philadelphians through a series of ten free dance/theater workshops called The Keepers Project. She will then use the research to spark a new dance theater work for a public performance by professionally-trained artists. Anne-Marie is currently working on a family history dance theater piece that examines her family’s ancestors who immigrated from Eastern Europe and Ireland. The Keepers Project would be a companion multi-disciplinary work based on the themes of aging, self-worth, one’s roots, hopes, dreams and memories. The public performance will take place at Christ Church Neighborhood House.
