	trade school&#38;nbsp;

	A City-to-City Exchange PlatformTrade School is the signature program of The Philadelphia Thing, a festival and exchange platform celebrating the work of Philadelphia performing artists, as well as creating connections with artist peers across the country. This event connects artists and audiences in each city, exploring differences and similarities in systems of support for contemporary performance, and discussing issues in self-producing and dissemination of work that resonate with both. Trade School features fully-produced performances, work-in-progress showings, artist-driven conversations, and a hosted program for visiting performing arts curators from across the country.

	Founded in 2019 by Sarah Bishop-Stone, The Philadelphia Thing produces the yearly Trade School Festival, an evolving opportunity for exchange and cross-pollination between Philadelphia and another city. Trade School is a model for collaboration with other independent producers, curators, and performance makers, and creates artist-to-artist connections, building an organic and fortified network for learning and touring.

	Wig Wag is an interactive theater piece where the audience and performers explore communal music-making. The piece unfolds as a secular "church service" that uses group singing, group text recitation, and music performed by a vocal quartet to explore the tension &#38;amp; pleasure of co-existing with others.

	IRIDESCENCE is a live-scored abstract short film around revealing one’s self and autonomy of storytelling. Using my body as a main visual subject, I explore my universe of interests – visually and sonically. I am always fascinated with time, clocks, and astrological natal chart geometry as symbols of measurement of existence. This work is a visual representation and celebration of my body in the midst of dysphoria, the beauty of time in cycles (astrology).
