Mascher and FlyGround/Brownbody co-produce Fresh Juice and The Requisite Movers, two separately programmed performances that will both bring refreshing and genuine work by a new generation of dance innovators to The Performance Garage. Fresh Juice is an annual program of Mascher Space Co-op, a home for new dance in Philadelphia, which features a refreshing selection of finished works by Artists in Residence: Nicole Bindler/Gabrielle Revlock, Gregory Holt and Lawrence-Herchenroether Dance Company.  The Requisite Movers is an annual performance opportunity for emerging Black female choreographers to present their artistic work.

"I made this for you" is a raucous yet earnest dance about audience engagement created by Gabrielle Revlock and Nicole Bindler. The dance challenges notions of competition and conventional forms of beauty by using biting wit and playful commentary. It includes a number of exciting things such as wrestling, circus tricks, and babies.

"making claims", by Gregory Holt, is about storytelling and territory. Humorous and inscrutable, they challenge each other with complex movements and shifting rhythms.

The Lawrence-Herchenroether Dance Company recreates a piece originally made and set in Founder’s Hall at Girard College. Fully coated in uneven and congealed patches of thick, dried, clay-like material, the dancers become and reveal these forgotten spaces.
