Join award-winning artist and Austinite, Marvin Tate, in collaboration with artist-organizer and cultural producer, Laura Shaeffer, for Crossing Austin: A Party in Two Parts.
A Party in Two Parts brings two communities, the Austin neighborhood in Chicago and its neighboring community Oak Park, together through art, music, and nature.
The first part of this two-part series features a dance performance, Freedom From and Freedom To, by Cristal Sabbagh at Compound Yellow in Oak Park, IL.
The performance is an exploration and celebration of artistic circumstance. Movement and sound improvisors from all around Chicago gather and are grouped by chance by the audience. Each group performs an improvised set fusing diverse artistic backgrounds and practices to create unique and fleeting worlds.
Dancers include Irene Hsiao, Amanda Maraist, Chrissy Martin, Gaby Martinez, and Cristal Sabbagh with musicians Sarai Bernice, Paige Brown, JayV Montgomery, olula negre, Ariel Foster, and Nick Turner.
Light snacks and non alcoholic beverages provided!
Space is limited. RSVP required.
