An examination of inner motivations and outer presentations of selected independent post-modern dance artists, who explored dancing in a wider landscape and cityscape while also creating “alternative” working and living spaces within their community, is glimpsed through the microcosm of an era of independent dance and performance that emerged in Philadelphia’s Old City during the 1970’s and 1980’s. This thesis includes a consideration of philosophical inspirations and movement esthetics built from non-modern dance styles and early dissemination of post-modern techniques, along with the political and social implications of art practices in this environment. Concepts and theory further afield are brought to bear in considering the experimenting sensibility of these dance artists and the roles they played in shaping community and urban life. / Dance
