Sometimes we hear about interesting events just as they are about to happen. There isn’t time to do much reporting on these events, but we like to get the word out about them. We are always looking for quality low-cost or free events. We encourage you to send us a voice report (call it in at 312 436 1820) if you attend any of these, upload some photos, or send us a link to video clips. You can submit the information on any events you like, too, and we will add that to our “Look Now” occasional feature.
Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) Theater Presents:
Encountering the Other
Presented by Mordine & Company Dance Theater and Natya Dance Theatre
July 29, 2010 — August 01, 2010
Storefront Theater, located at 66 E. Randolph Street
$20 general admission; $15 for seniors and students; $18 advance purchase (on or before July 28)
Two distinct dance traditions – the popular dance theater of India and western contemporary dance – meet in a cultural encounter that negotiates two perspectives of performance. Mordine & Company Dance Theater and Natya Dance Theatre, two of Chicago’s most innovative companies, collaborate in a trilogy of works co-created by leading choreographers Shirley Mordine and Hema Rajagopalan. Each company will also perform work from their own repertoires that juxtapose rhythm, gesture, and high-energy dance in reflections on culture, gender, philosophy, and family.
