BODY PASSAGES: a poetry and dance performance

Body Passages is an evening of new collaborative works devised by local poets and dancers. This new performance series is curated by Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble (CDE) and Poetry Center of Chicago (PCC) and encourages the crossing of artists and audiences. CDE and PCC have paired professional dancers and poets to create their own artist-led projects fusing language and movement. Paired artists participate in on-going conversations and exchanges with other pairs. Artists explore fluidity, form, and rhythm as they relate to a variety of topics. The first of two performances is taking place at Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble’s Auditorium and the second taking place at Uncommon Ground on Devon Ave.
