About All Hallow’s Read:
All Hallow's Read was created by author Neil Gaiman. He suggests that on or around Hallowe'en people should give each other scary books. The community wanted to have this in West Philly on the gorgeous grounds of The Woodlands, but obviously we could not just leave books around! So All Hallow's Read Philadelphia is just for a few hours a year. Scary books, fall books, books about monsters, books about pumpkins, harvest books, any books really are going to be hidden in Woodlands Cemetery on Sunday October 24th, 2021. This is an ALL AGES event - we have books for all ages!
About Tangle Movement Arts:
Tangle Movement Arts is a circus arts company with a contemporary twist, whose performances mix traditional circus like trapeze and acrobatics with dance, theater, and live music to tell a multi-dimensional story. Tangle’s work is devised collaboratively by its all-female ensemble, and reflects individuals of diverse identities, with an emphasis on queer and female experience. Based in Philadelphia, Tangle has been a Philly FringeArts Festival favorite since its inception in 2011.
About Spiritual Atmosferic Cleansing:
Spiritual Atmosferic Cleansing is a “rhythmic release” featuring percussion, song, and storytelling event. Led by Philadelphia percussionist Karen Smith, Spiritual Atmosferic Cleansing is an informal gathering that seeks to provide a space for us to get in tune with ourselves and others. As Karen always says, “the Arts are healing resources for all and everyone is welcome to get some of this medicine.”
