SUMMARY:John Waters & the "Feel Bad" Romance
DESCRIPTION:John Waters (legendary filmmaker of the cult classic Pink Flamingos and blockbuster Hairspray\, and author of Carsick and Mr. Know-It-All) has turned his brilliant mind to fiction: specifically his first novel and what he calls the “feel bad romance.” In Liarmouth\, Waters employs his trademark combination of hilarity and obscenity\, weaving a tangled tale of sex\, crime\, and family dysfunction\, with main character Marsha Sprinkle (scammer\, suitcase thief\, master of disguise) at the helm. Waters joins CHF in conversation to share his secrets for writing well in a transgressive way. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/john-waters/

SUMMARY:Kinetic Light: Wired
DESCRIPTION:Wired is an immense and intimate experience that traces the fine line between “us” and “them” through aerial and contemporary dance and the metaphoric use of barbed wire. The dancers of Wired spin and soar together in this meditation in sound\, light\, and movement on the gendered\, racial\, and disability stories of barbed wire in the United States\, showing how this material shapes common understandings of who belongs. Barbed wire is designed as a material for containment. It is used\, time and again\, to limit individual and community movements and delineate boundaries as large as a nation state and as small as a personal fence. In Wired\, this fraught material comes to highlight not only danger and contradiction\, but also beauty and interconnection. \nTo create Wired\, the artists of Kinetic Light—Alice Sheppard\, Laurel Lawson\, Jerron Herman\, and Michael Maag—and their collaborators—composers Ailís Ní Ríain and LeahAnn Mitchell and scenic designer Josephine Shokrian—defy both gravity and assumptions about what dance can be. The artists of Kinetic Light see interdependence as a political position as well as an approach to making dance from a disability aesthetic: in which disability is a powerful creative and cultural force\, and the many ways of accessing the performance are the art itself. \nASL interpretation and AD are available for all shows. There is no spoken dialogue in Wired. Audio description is available through Kinetic Light’s app\, Audimance. More information will be provided to ticketholders by email in advance. Orientation to and demonstration of the app will be available in the lobby prior to all shows\, along with a tactile exhibit that serves as an introduction to the Wired set\, props\, costumes\, and theatrical elements. \nWired content and artistry will remain the same for all performances. The show shares many aspects of MCA’s Relaxed Performances. Audience members are welcome to exit and reenter. \nLight haze is present in certain sections. There are no strobe lighting effects. Quiet spaces and stimulation kits are available for all performances. \nThe show will be livestreamed on Saturday\, including ASL\, with one channel being audio described. Friday and Sunday’s performances will offer an alternative lighting design. \nhttps://mcachicago.org/calendar/2022/05/wired#accessibility

SUMMARY:Kim Gordon\, Sinéad Gleeson & Laurie Anderson on Women in Music
DESCRIPTION:Here’s to the women in music who kick in doors\, who break genres\, who are repeatedly asked: “What’s it like to be a girl in a band?” Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon doesn’t like the question\, but her new anthology This Woman’s Work\, edited with former music journalist Sinéad Gleeson\, gives us multitudes of answers on their own terms. You’re invited to join Gordon\, Gleeson\, and the subject of the anthology’s lead essay\, Laurie Anderson\, for a riotous time spotlighting women’s work in the music industry\, which includes claiming their stories (and songs)\, while simultaneously smashing the patriarchy. This conversation is moderated by Pitchfork’s Editor in Chief\, Puja Patel. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/gordon-gleeson/

SUMMARY:All’s Well That Ends Well
DESCRIPTION:Love all\, trust a few\, do wrong to none”… how hard could it be? Shakespeare’s nuanced coming-of-age love story is brought to new life in the uniquely intimate setting of the Courtyard Theater\, staged by acclaimed director Shana Cooper. Bold\, complex characters and hilarious turns of wit and wisdom make for a vivid exploration of love and loss\, courtship and class. Besotted with a man who does not return her love\, the intelligent\, resourceful young Helena navigates the complexities of unrequited romance\, courtly drama\, and the pesky meddling of her elders—only to discover the reality that happy endings are never quite as simple as they seem in fairy tales. \nFor our access performances\, “Pay-What-You-Can” tickets\, ranging from our full price of $90 to as low as $35\, are available to patrons whose disability requires the use of the service (plus one companion). Book your tickets today by calling 312.595.5600 or emailing access@chicagoshakes.com.
