My, you’re busy this weekend:

>>>Tonight: Pig Iron’s Dan Rothenberg says you should join him at this PlayPenn workshop: painter Alexandra Grant and poet Michael Joyce and Dan are going to talk experimental shop and about drawing audiences in. From Dan’s email: “I had the good fortune to work with Alexandra and Michael to create sound pieces for Alexandra’s first solo show at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. Almost all of Alexandra’s ‘word-bubble’ paintings are based on poems by Michael. It’s been a pretty exciting collaboration, how words turned to paintings turned to sounds and then became videos that Alexandra created at a later date.” 6:00 pm, free, Adrienne Theatre, 2030 Sansom Street, Philadelphia. Reservations recommended: 215-568-1434.
