Emily Stein
Migrate

April 1-3, 2005
Friday and Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 7pm
Admission $10

Emily Stein, Associate Artistic Director of Chicago’s Zephyr Dance, presents Migrate, a program of solo work. Stein’s new solo Migration examines images of the dancing body in an abstract meditation on identity, journey, vulnerability and change. Also on the program is Deborah Hay’s solo Beauty, adapted by Stein. Hay: “Particularly in dance, images of beauty have grown static and outdated in many ways. So naming my new work Beauty felt unimaginably liberating, as if I was reviving the presence of Beauty to my life and my work by raising it out of its colloquial dormancy.”

Theater Oobleck
The Hunchback Variations

April 15-16 & 22-23, 2005
Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm
Suggested donation $10; more if you’ve got it, free if you’re broke

Playwright Mickle Maher brings together composer Ludwig van Beethoven and the Hunchback of Notre Dame for a panel discussion on the pitfalls of artistic collaboration. Their attempts to create an enigmatic sound called for by a stage direction in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard are thwarted by their deafness, unpleasant working conditions, and the fact that Beethoven has not yet finished reading The Cherry Orchard. The acclaimed Theater Oobleck originally premiered this piece at Links Hall in 2001.

“…a moving meditation on collaboration and the artistic process.” – Chicago Reader
