About slowdanger

Taylor Knight and Anna Thompson are founding directors of slowdanger , a PGH based multidisciplinary performance duo that fuses sound and movement into an elusive, but illustrative combination of improvised contemporary and post-modern dance frameworks, found material, electronic instrumentation, vocalization, physiological centering and ontological examination. slowdanger is an organism that uses performance and collaboration as ritual practice to delve into patterns of the circular rhythm of life.

Third Thursdays

On the third Thursday of every month, we’re keeping the art galleries open late, turning up the volume, and welcoming partners throughout the city to create exciting, one-of-a-kind programs. Explore our exhibitions, enjoy music, indulge in a late-night café menu, and more. Curate your own experience!
