    The Community Education Center's New Edge Residency Program has celebrated some of Philadelphia's hottest young artists for over 20 years including Nichole Canuso, Headlong Dance Theater, Tania Isaac and Meredith Rainey (former soloist of the Pennsylvania Ballet), among many others. This year the New Edge program will kickoff with Marcel Williams Foster, who won critical acclaim for his co-production of 'The Jane Goodall: Experience.' He will debut a piece that delves deeper into the labyrinth of the zany world of science and his experiences as a chimpanzee researcher with the Jane Goodall Institute and a Great Ape zoo--titled 'Sonso, Simians and Pierrot.' The story begins with a mischievous, Signing chimpanzee who decides to play matchmaker for the most unlikely couple: Pierrot, the famed clown, and Sonso, an ambitious Primatologist. Two improbable lovers spin a web of stunning dance, (mis)communication and the impossible task of living in the boundary between fact and fiction.
