SUMMARY:KING JAMES at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:“King” LeBron James’s reign in Cleveland brings promise\, prosperity and renewal to a city in desperate need of all three. It also brings together two unlikely friends in a bond forged by fandom. Told over twelve years (from LeBron’s rookie season to an NBA Championship) King James is an intimate exploration of the place that sports occupy in our lives and relationships. Ensemble member Rajiv Joseph’s clever and fast-paced comedy traces the arcs of two friends whose turbulent relationship is best navigated through their shared love of basketball—and the endless amiable arguments that erupt from that love. All the while\, the promise and burden of LeBron’s talent and legacy loom large. \nhttps://www.steppenwolf.org/tickets–events/seasons/2021-22/king-james/

SUMMARY:Together at Last
DESCRIPTION:It’s about damn time. Together at Last is a non-stop celebration of how we have persisted and even thrived during these impossibly difficult times. From laughing at the sheer absurdity of our current reality to cheering for our tiny wins\, nothing is off-limits: family dynamics\, marriage & divorce\, girls’ nights out\, working from home\, and readjusting to society at large. Come laugh at what unites us all in a show that asks the question… is anyone out there going to save us? \nhttps://secondcityus.secure.force.com/ticket/?quantity_a0Q1R00000v7TlMUAU=01&_ga=2.59773743.301484373.1648573487-2120270315.1625782618#/instances/a0F1R00000dtTwXUAU?quantity_a0Q1R00000v7TlMUAU=01

SUMMARY:Goodnight\, Oscar
DESCRIPTION:Anything can happen on live TV. And one night\, it did.

Famous for his witty one-liners\, Oscar has a favorite: “There’s a fine line between genius and insanity; I have erased this line.” Tonight\, Oscar will prove just that when he appears live on national TV in an episode that Paar’s audience—and the rest of America—won’t soon forget. Good Night\, Oscar explores the nexus of humor and heartbreak\, the ever-dwindling distinction between exploitation and entertainment\, and the high cost of baring one’s soul for public consumption. \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/Oscar

SUMMARY:Autumn Knight: M___ER
DESCRIPTION:Combining improvisation with sculpture\, sound\, and lights\, M___ER taps into the tangled relationships we have with familiar people and things to examine the shifting dynamics of intimacy between audience members’ senses of self\, others\, and objects. The title suggests various interpretations of its missing letters; the performance itself addresses ideas such as “mother\,” “murder\,” and “matter\,” while still leaving room for ambiguity. M___ER is a nonlinear\, scenic examination of entanglements\, from mothers to matter. Investigating relationships that are common to almost everyone\, the performance probes the precarity inherent to physical proximity or emotional closeness. \nUsing her training as an improviser and the inexhaustible possibilities each audience member brings\, Knight’s work regularly puts Black femmes—often herself—in contested and confrontational positions of power. Knight guides her audiences through indeterminate situations that illuminate the relationships at play in performance and in our everyday lives. The controlled chaos of these mysterious group interactions provokes laughter and occasional discomfort\, using irrationality to make meaning out of our contemporary culture. \nhttps://mcachicago.org/calendar/2022/04/m-_-_-_-er

His favorite guest? Character actor\, pianist and wild card Oscar Levant. Famous for his witty one-liners\, Oscar has a favorite: “There’s a fine line between genius and insanity; I have erased this line.” Tonight\, Oscar will prove just that when he appears live on national TV in an episode that Paar’s audience—and the rest of America—won’t soon forget. Good Night\, Oscar explores the nexus of humor and heartbreak\, the ever-dwindling distinction between exploitation and entertainment\, and the high cost of baring one’s soul for public consumption. \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/Oscar

SUMMARY:Lauren Bon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This event will be live captioned by Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) services. For additional access requests\, visit saic.edu/access. \nJoin us live for a virtual lecture by artist Lauren Bon followed by an audience Q&A. \nLauren Bon is an environmental artist from Los Angeles. Her practice\, Metabolic Studio\, explores self-sustaining and self-diversifying systems of exchange that feed emergent properties that regenerate the life web. Some of her works include: Not A Cornfield\, which transformed and revived an industrial brownfield in downtown Los Angeles into a 32-acre cornfield for one agricultural cycle; 100 Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct\, a 240-mile performative action that aimed to reconnect the city of Los Angeles with the source of its water for the centenary of the opening of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Her studio’s current work\, Bending the River Back into the City\, aims to utilize Los Angeles’s first private water right to deliver 106-acre feet of water annually from the LA River to over 50 acres of land in the historic core of downtown LA. This model can be replicated to regenerate the 52-mile LA River\, reconnect it to its floodplain\, and form a citizens’ utility. \nLauren Bon is the 2021-2022 Mitchell Visiting Professor in SAIC’s Department of Architecture\, Interior Architecture\, and Designed Objects. \nThis lecture is supported by the William Bronson and Grayce Slovet Mitchell Lecture Series in SAIC’s Department of Architecture\, Interior Architecture\, and Designed Objects. \nhttps://www.saic.edu/events/lauren-bon-0

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
