SUMMARY:Educator Workshop | Color Alchemy: An Immersive Meditative Art Experience at MCA
DESCRIPTION:Visual artist and creative designer Tacarra Sutton collaborates with wellness practitioner Cherish Hicks for three mediation and creative-centered workshops. This event suite is designed to promote self-care and wellbeing among K–12 educators. Join us as we combine wellness and art for an unforgettable experience. \nThis is the third and final Color Alchemy: An Immersive Meditative Art Experience\, a sensory experience that invites educators to consciously create art through a meditative medium in order to explore wellness in a unique form. Color Alchemy is a mindful\, intuitive\, and emotionally cathartic way to engage with art and self-expression. In this guided painting experience\, participants physically explore\, express\, and release emotions and energies through the creative act itself. For this workshop: \nCherish Hicks\, well-being curator and founder of Beyond Wellness\, guides you through breathwork\, a guided meditation\, and a sound bath that provide a deep state of relaxation and mindfulness\, awakening your emotions and prepare you for the creative process. Then Chicago native\, artist\, and creative extraordinaire Tacarra Sutton guides you on the mat through a series of paintings that allow color and emotions to collide. Afterwards\, take home the piece of art you created during this meditative state\, which can serve as a reminder of the experience and insights gained. \nParticipants are encouraged to wear shades of blue. Please wear comfortable clothing due to the light stretches and painting activities that take place. Aprons are provided. \nThis workshop is open to educators at all levels of mobility and age and yoga mats are provided (though participants are invited to bring their own if possible). All educators receive ISBE credit hours for attendance. \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/educator-workshop-back-to-center-a-wellness-workshop-for-teachers-3/

SUMMARY:Jazzmeia Horn Family Matinee at Harris Theater for Music and Dance
DESCRIPTION:Age Recommendation: PNC Family Series is recommended for children and adults ages 4 and older. However\, children of all ages are welcome! \nJazzmeia Horn is a vocalist and composer\, author\, activist\, educator\, multi-GRAMMY Award nominee\, and winner of the 2015 Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Competition. Praised by The New York Times as “among the most exciting young vocalists in jazz\, with a proud traditionalism that keeps her tightly linked to the sound of classic figures like Nancy Wilson and Betty Carter\, but a vivacity of spirit and conviction that places her firmly in the present\,” Horn makes her Harris Theater debut with performances on the Mix at Six and PNC Family Series in 2024. \nHorn\, who will publish her first children’s book — based on her forthcoming album Messages — in 2024\, is creating a special storyteller-style program for the PNC Family Series that will premiere on the Harris Theater stage. Blending works from her GRAMMY-nominated albums and stories from her life and career\, the program will engage audiences of all ages in Horn’s unique sound and musical influences. \nThis afternoon is designed to offer a safe and welcoming experience for all\, with additional resources available to patrons who may have sensory sensitivities. We are thrilled to foster an informal\, judgement-free atmosphere where all audience members can respond to the performance in their own way: clap\, dance\, make noise\, or observe quietly\, it’s completely up to you! \nSensory-friendly services include: \n1. A designated quiet play area located on Level 2 if you need a break from the performance\na. Need help find this quiet play area? Harris Theater staff are happy to direct you.\n2. A Welcome Guide and sensory-friendly maps are available to help you understand what you will see and hear during your visit\na. Need to find a paper copy of these resources? Harris Theater staff on at our Welcome Table on Lobby Level 5 can help you!\n3. Friendly faces of trained staff and volunteers\, here to help guide your visit \nAccessibility: ASL\, audio description \nhttps://www.harristheaterchicago.org/performance/jazzmeia-horn-family-matinee

SUMMARY:Live Arts | Wu Tsang: MOBY DICK; or\, The Whale at Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:In MOBY DICK; or\, The Whale\, award-winning filmmaker and visual artist Wu Tsang embarks upon a feature-length\, silent-film telling of Herman Melville’s great American novel. The film features original orchestral music composed by Caroline Shaw and Andrew Yee with Asma Maroof\, which is performed live by the Chicago Sinfonietta. \nThis adaptation\, written by Sophia Al Maria and directed by Tsang\, follows the white whale above and below the surface of the water\, developing a visual cosmology that resists the exploration and exploitation of the earth under imperial colonialism. Tsang’s approach pairs the classic story of the whaler’s ”floating factory” with the beginnings of the film industry. MOBY DICK; or\, The Whale was shot entirely on a soundstage combining silent-era filmmaking techniques with Virtual Production\, a virtual reality game engine projecting surreal ocean environments. \nThe narrative is interwoven with extracts by the Sub-Sub-Librarian\, a character played by acclaimed poet Fred Moten\, and tackles the novel’s subterranean currents\, encountering the resistance of the ship’s hydrarchy\, or organizational structure\, and collectives of “mariners\, renegades\, and castaways\,” as described by historian C.L.R. James. Exploring overlapping histories of industrialism\, extractivism\, colonialism\, ecological and spiritual crisis\, the film creates a multilayered surreal filmic adaptation of the 1851 novel. \nThe MCA’s presentation of MOBY DICK; or\, The Whale is organized by Nolan Jimbo\, Assistant Curator. \nThe film contains brief nudity. \nAudio Description and CART captioning are provided for the February 16 performance. \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/live-arts-moby-dick-or-the-whale/

SUMMARY:ANTIGONE at Court Theatre
DESCRIPTION:BY SOPHOCLES\nDIRECTED BY GABRIELLE RANDLE-BENT\,\nASSOCIATE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR \nAs Antigone mourns her brothers\, she must decide if she will sacrifice her life to balance the scales of justice. Associate Artistic Director Gabrielle Randle-Bent’s interpretation of Sophocles’ masterwork – featuring Aeriel Williams in the titular role and Timothy Edward Kane as King Creon – renders Antigone electrifyingly alive\, situating this tale in our modern conversation about the price of democracy\, and asking – crucially – if it’s a price we’re willing to pay. \nThis event will have ASL interpretation\, assistive listening devices\, audio description\, and wheelchair accessible seating. \nTouch tour will begin at 12:30pm. \nAntigone

SUMMARY:Learning Series | The Impact of Food Apartheid in Education\, Part 2 at Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Harnessing Narrative for Food Sovereign Futures\nThroughout the year\, the MCA hosts high-quality professional development programming\, open to teachers of all subjects\, grade levels\, and disciplines. These events are educator-specific\, skills-based\, training on contemporary art integration. Programs are designed in connection with the cultural assets of the MCA and the needs of the Chicago area educators. In keeping with addressing issues of relevance\, the 2023–24 Learning Series is a four-part series exploring “The Impact of Food Apartheid in Education.” \nThe term “apartheid” is used as it acknowledges the existence of economic and racial segregation systems. And as history has shown us\, apartheid systems can be dismantled through collective action. \nThis workshop\, titled “Harnessing Narrative for Food Sovereign Futures\,” is meant to help us to understand food apartheid: how it impacts our lives and how we can leverage power in order to mobilize towards food sovereignty. Through experiential storytelling\, collective imagination exercises\, and power-mapping strategies\, teachers work alongside food justice advocates to learn how they can make a difference in their classroom\, their school\, and their food system. This session includes a making and a writing activity. \nAccessibility: ASL interpretation and captioning upon request \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/learning-series-the-impact-of-food-apartheid-in-education-part-2/

SUMMARY:Notes From the Field at TimeLine Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:An innovative documentary piece that shines a spotlight on the stories of those caught in America’s school-to-prison pipeline. \nHAILED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES AS “A SEARING AND URGENT WORK that confronts some of the most pressing issues of our time with honesty\, intelligence\, and compassion\,” this innovative first-person documentary piece shines a light on the stories of those caught in America’s school-to-prison pipeline. Utilizing verbatim dialogue pulled from more than 250 real accounts from students\, faculty\, prisoners\, activists\, politicians\, and victims’ families\, Notes From the Field takes audiences on a powerful and emotional journey through the faults and systemic injustices of the American criminal justice system. Deeply human\, profoundly moving\, and full of moments of humor\, compassion\, and resilience\, it’s a masterful work that makes it impossible to look away from the urgent need for change. \nOriginally performed by creator Anna Deavere Smith as a one-woman show\, this 2017 Obie Award-winning production was hailed by The Guardian as “captivating political theatre\, a devastating document of racial inequality and the most rousing of rallying calls. Everyone should watch it\, at least once.” \nAccessibility: open captions\, audio description\, touch tour \nhttps://timelinetheatre.com/events/notes-from-the-field/ \nNotes From the Field runs February 8 – March 24\, 2024 (previews 1/31 – 2/7) at TimeLine Theatre\, 615 W.
