Helpful Hints for Strength and Health for Busy People
Thursday, August 13 from 2:00 to 3:00
MacColl Room of First Presbyterian Church, 201 S 21st Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106
 

This is a performance duet created by Rhonda Moore, a 69-year-old Black veteran dancer and novice acrobat and Ben Grinberg, a 35-year-old queer Jewish acrobat and novice dancer. Helpful Hints is inspired by the whimsical 1901 book Illustrated Hints for Strength and Health for Busy People by Adrian Peter Schmidt. This project reimagines turn-of-the-century fitness advice through an intergenerational, embodied lens, exploring the evolving definitions of strength, health, and readiness across time and lived experience.
