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. Wellington Ave.

SUMMARY:FORCE! An Opera in Three Acts at the Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:This is an opera\, but what is an opera? If opera is defined simply as “big work\,” what could be blacker? FORCE! features a live band that blends gospel\, folk\, pop\, and jazz\, with experimental dance\, song\, and the spoken word. As the work unfolds\, characters reveal layered interiors creating a strange sisterhood with the power to disintegrate walls that blooms in the shadows of the prison industrial complex. As the artists manifest the free worlds of which they dream on stage\, their voices resound with collective power. A meditation on often-overlooked spaces—prison waiting rooms—FORCE! travels through silence\, sound\, and rhythm to dissipate borders between performers and audience members and question who truly controls how their time is spent. \nComprised of a Chicago-based cast\, FORCE! is created by Anna Martine Whitehead alongside co-music directors\, Ayanna Woods and Teiana Davis; co-composers\, Phillip Armstrong and Angel Bat Dawid; and is devised in collaboration with performers Zachary Nicol\, Jenn Freeman\, Rahila Coats\, Eva Supreme\, Nexus J\, Daniella Hope\, Brittany Brown\, Kai Black\, and Wyatt Wadell; with extra help from Tramaine Parker and Jasmine Mendoza. \nSince late 2019\, FORCE! has developed as an iterative re-imagining of performance practice\, constantly re-centering care\, consent\, queer divergence\, and rest. The creative team re-imagines rehearsal protocols and releases disciplinary categories to build an abolitionist feminist theater practice. This project gathers lessons from lichens and other emergent strategies\, direct actions\, and mutual aid societies and leverages sound and movement as vectors for processing state violence and racial capitalism. Using the prison as a particular prism through which we can bear witness to the ways carceral systems replicate themselves. FORCE! is also an attempt to abolish the Prison Industrial Complex in the audience and artist’s heads\, hearts\, and houses. \nLibretto by Anna Martine Whitehead. Composed by Ayanna Woods\, Anna Martine Whitehead\, Angel Bat Dawid\, and Philip Armstrong. \nThis performance is part of On Stage: Resonance\, organized by Tara Aisha Willis\, former Curator in Performance\, with Laura Paige Kyber\, Curatorial Associate. \nRun time: 90-100 min \nContent Warning: \nThis performance begins in the theater lobby. Audiences will take a behind the-scenes route to their seats with the performers as their guides. All seating for this performance is on stage. A live band plays in close proximity to the audience.

SUMMARY:Justice Stephen Breyer at Francis W. Parker School
DESCRIPTION:Honorably serving for twenty-eight years as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer challenges the textualist philosophy of the court’s supermajority with insightful analysis and arguments for a more nuanced view of Constitutional interpretation. Emphasizing the consequential impacts of major legal decisions\, Breyer upends the prevailing textualism approach as outlined in his book Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism\, Not Textualism. Former Justice Breyer and CNN senior Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic connect with Chicago Humanities to expand on his views for a flexible\, evolving Constitution. Breyer asserts that pivotal cases like Dobbs and Bruen were incorrectly decided. They underscore the importance of considering the intent and repercussions of legal statutes and offer a compelling case for a more balanced interpretation of law. \nAccessibility: ASL Interpreted\, Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/breyer-biskupic/

SUMMARY:“This Living Earth – Our Shared Gaia” exhibition showcase at Beverly Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:WHO: Beverly Arts Center in partnership with the Beverly Area Arts Alliance – https://www.thebeverlyartscenter.com | https://beverlyarts.org/\nWHAT: “This Living Earth – Our Shared Gaia” Exhibition\nWHEN: April 5 – 27\, 2024\nWHERE: Beverly Arts Center\, Simmerling 2nd Floor Gallery\, 2407 W. 111th St\, Chicago\, IL 60655 \nARTISTS’ RECEPTION\n“This Living Earth — Our Shared Gaia” opening reception will be held on Friday\, April 5\, 2024\, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Admission to the family-friendly exhibition and reception is free to the public.\nFacebook Event Invitation: https://www.facebook.com/events/1090169548901618 \nBeverly Arts Center is pleased to present the art exhibition titled “This Living Earth – Our Shared Gaia” in its second floor gallery\, which is a cross section of visual observations from nature by 12 northern Illinois / Indiana artists in a variety of media. Both naturalism and abstraction are investigated by this group of artists: Sharon Bladholm\, Gabriella Boros\, Victoria Fuller\, Kathryn Gauthier\, Fletcher Hayes\, Mike Barret Kolasinski\, Basia Krol\, Deborah Maris Lader\, Kim Laurel\, Dorothy Mason\, Gregory Mejia\, Renee McGinnis. \nThe Gaia theory as a world concept focuses on observing how the biosphere and the evolution of life forms contribute to the stability of our planet. Hortus Botanicus (the botanical garden) is the underlying common influence that permeates each of these artists’ work\, whether of landscape\, plant\, water and animal study or as allegorical metaphors for our natural world in flux. Works exhibited are a figurative treatment of our nature subjects sometimes alluding to other symbolic meanings. \nThose symbols of our natural world are expanded on as pattern\, texture\, color\, form and light. We invite you to observe this diverse group of visual expressions compiled by the curator/artist team of Kim Laurel and Fletcher Hayes. \n“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” — Henry David Thoreau \nAccessibility: Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1090169548901618

SUMMARY:Politics of Poetics: CAConrad
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nJoin us for a reading with poet CAConrad in celebration of the new series Politics of Poetics. \nASL and CART captioning are provided. \nAbout the Series\nPolitics of Poetics is a new quarterly program series held in the MCA’s Edlis Neeson Theater that highlights today’s leading poets whose practices traverse the political through writing\, teaching\, and activism. The series invites poets from across the globe to give readings and be in conversation with artists and other thinkers about the themes in their work. Historically\, poets and visual artists have benefitted from close collaboration and artistic exchange\, sharing in technical approaches and critical ideas of the day. Like many of the artists exhibited at the MCA\, these poets take up critical issues in their work while propelling voices\, stories\, and thoughts under-seen and under-regarded in traditional canons. \nAbout the Speaker\nCAConrad has worked with the ancient technologies of poetry and ritual since 1975. Their latest book is Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Wave Books / UK Penguin 2024). They received the Ruth Lily Poetry Prize\, a PEN Josephine Miles Award\, a Creative Capital grant\, a Pew Fellowship\, and a Lambda Award. They exhibit poems as art objects with recent solo shows in Spain and Portugal\, and their play The Obituary Show was made into a film in 2022 by the artist Augusto Cascales.
