Mike's March-End Art Part 1 - The Furies
posted March 23, 2017 8:43 AM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Wed March 29 at 6:00 PM, Chicago Cultural Center
78 E Washington St, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
Along with the meetups we've had that are fun and/or political, let's end March with a couple of free art events (that are also fun and/or political, I guess.) Join me for the premiere of The Furies, by King is a Fink Productions. The Furies is a series of five dance films that explore how social prohibitions against female anger limit self-actualization for women.
(Disclaimer: King is A Fink Productions was started by two amazing women I've been friends with for years.)

2. THE NEW NUCLEAR (excerpt) explores the nature of connection and the formation familial identities within queer families, biological families, and chosen families. Choreography by Kaitlin Webster. Performed by Porscha Spells and Kelsey Reiter
3. SEARCH PARTY (excerpt) navigates dance floor politics by claiming dancing as an act of resistance, a form of relief and release, a test of one’s own aliveness, acknowledgement of vulnerability and fear, a catalyst for community and a spark for contagious joy. Choreography by Erin Kilmurray. Performed by Alyssa Gregory, Erin Kilmurray, and Kaitlin Webster
BRONX CUNT TOUR:
Right on the wings of the super successful debut of lil BLK in Chicago, NIC Kay is taking the solo performance lil blk on the road in the BRONX CUNT TOUR series. Lil BLK is an experimental solo performance influenced by New York City gay/queer ballroom culture, live punk shows, butoh and praise dance. The story plays out through a series of biographical moments that are equal parts narrative and dream.
