Selected for Five Things to do Saturday on Time Out Chicago
There are many ways of incorporating a “score” or a “scenario” into a dance work. Sometimes called structured improvisation, dancers use their connection to sound, space, and structure in varying ways and to differing degrees to create a unique dance work on the spot. In this performance, three dancers and four musicians listen deeply and step into physical and sound experiments as they explore ways of being in the moment. A discussion will follow. This is Dance Union’s kick-off event as series.
