Tilde will be hosting a bar takeover & fundraiser for Laila j. franklin’s tour of babybabybaby:
Laila J. Franklin is a multidisciplinary dance artist based in Massachusett and Pawtucket land {Boston, Massachusetts, by way of Nocotchotank and Piscataway land} & Washington, DC. This summer, she is raising funds to support the premiere and touring of her evening length dance work, BABYBABYBABY, a dance about dances about love.
In May of 2024, Laila and her collaborators shared a 4-night sold-out showing at the Boston Center for the Arts at the conclusion of a 2023/2024 Boston Dancemakers Residency. Inspired by the overwhelmingly positive community feedback, a personal desire to deepen the research of this work, and a commitment to expanding the community and audience for this work and future projects, we are taking this project on the road and the first stop is a world premiere at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival.
