2007 Outdoor Activities

August 25

Shudder Duets Created and performed by Rachel Damon and Jesse Coffelt, these dances deal with the nature of memory. Built from studies of indefinable retrospective relationships, Damon and Coffelt weave together the past and present as Chicago bustles around them.

12 and 12:30pm Lincoln Park - near North Ave

August 25 and September 1

Crosswalk Dances Pedestrian actions turned into wild traversings- upside down and inside out. Watch out for mini dances and packs of moving statues! Created and performed by: Susan Aldous, Jesse Coffelt, Rachel Damon, Elisa Foshay, Katie Matteson, Brad Norris, John Peruzzi, and Laura Tennal

1-3 pm Michigan/Madison and Michigan/Jackson

 

Past Outdoor performances:

Oct 23, 30 & Nov 6
Portrait of Matka in Ping Tom Park, Graceland Cemetary & Dearborn Park - a collection of true herstories waiting to be discovered.

Oct 9
Wild Card Day - Anything may happen!

Oct 2
Hopscotch Lobster- This opportunity for adult dancers to play is open to anyone. A game board outlines movement sequences, so the dance is different every time. We leave behind the seriousness of dance training and let improvisation take over.

Sept 25
Chrysalis Unmade- A constantly changing cocoon is created during this action, which blends knitting and dancing. Look for it in the trees!

Sept 18
blood/soil- A solo movement series found in the dirt. In creating a small stone path, this meditative journey seeks to cleanse the concept of women's blood; reconnecting the cycles of modern women with the naturalness of motherhood and Mother Nature.
