Spindrift with bambinodj, Coldsteel & JEWELSSEA live, support from Spindrift DJs

With the launch of our Spring/Summer 2026 season, Spindrift is back with a special dance-forward edition like you’ve never seen us before! We’re joined by Germany’s bambinodj, NYC’s Coldsteel, and our own Philly icon Jewelssea, who will traverse ultra contemporary modes of mangled pop, leftfield club beats, and global ethereal dance music. This one’s for the coffee ravers, the laptop heads, the spiritual baddies, the jet setters, the gym rats, the art school dropouts, the melbourne shufflers, the creative anachronists, the soundcloud rappers, and everyone in between. Join us at Vox Populi. Something truly significant will occur.

Long Shot - MarZ: A Menstrual Musical

A duet for one body*, MarZ: A Menstrual Musical is part stand-up, part-experimental dance, and always a reckoning between AZ and the maps he has made to defend against the discomforts of dysphoria. The question is, can he read them? (*A solo performance perennially helped by friends along the way, most especially imaginary ones.)

Return home within and Dwell in the light: Inward Communion, Presence as prayer

Return home within and Dwell in the light: Inward Communion, Presence as prayer

An open period of silent worship in which we wait in God's presence among us as by a warm fire - gathering “with hearts knit together in love” (Colossians 2:2).  An opportunity to set aside the noise of our busy lives and our preconceived thoughts to return home within and dwell in the light.  In worship we return to a reality that is always within and around us- an invisible and living stream into which we can step at any time.

Scar Talk with Nicole Binder and a Performance by China Rain

Scar Talk with Nicole Binder and a Performance by China Rain

Scars are often referred to as disorganized fascia that adheres tissues and disrupts movement pathways. But what do the scars have to say about this? Nicole Bindler has developed a performance practice in which she animates her scars as characters, allowing them to do the talking. Their stories and opinions can often be quite surprising. In this presentation, she will share her findings from years of listening to her scars, and sharing their joys, traumas, and desires with audiences. She will offer techniques for attendees to develop their own scar-talk practice if they wish. Everyone is encouraged to bring their tender parts, imagination, and sense of play.
