SUMMARY:Barak adé Soleil\, SHIFT at Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:On May 6\, Barak adé Soleil premieres a new work\, SHIFT\, that amplifies the presence of Black neurodiverse and disabled bodies by occupying the museum’s spaces both digitally and physically. \nSHIFT is a new commission comprised of a video installation in one of the MCA’s public stairwells\, accompanied by a live performance. In the dreamlike video installation that runs from May 2nd through June 19\, the presence of Black neurodiverse and disabled bodies infiltrates a spiral stairwell within the museum\, where they are shown from many angles and at multiple scales\, both at rest and as they shift. adé Soleil’s installation offers rest\, and the everyday gestures of these bodies\, as forms of political resistance for Black people—challenging the media’s often violent interpretation of these bodies as lazy or near death. In the live event on May 6\, a promenade of performers traverse inaccessible staircases\, recalibrating the flow of activity within the museum and challenging simplistic depictions of Black disabled bodies in real time. \nThis performance is durational and will move through different areas of the museum\, including the MCA Plaza and front steps\, the northwest spiral staircase\, and both public lobbies. The majority of the performance will take place in the spiral staircase on the west side of the museum’s first floor\, and will be visible from various angles on multiple floors. The available space for viewers will change based on the location of the performance as it moves through the museum\, and MCA staff will be available to facilitate the audience’s movement to maintain access to elevators\, passageways\, and stairwells. Portable stools will be available for visitors who wish to use them\, where possible. ASL interpretation will be provided. Designated areas for wheelchair and mobility device users will be available on the staircase landings. The MCA Commons\, on the museum’s second floor\, will display a livestream of the performance as it takes place for visitors who wish to stay in one location. The livestream will also be available for visitors to join from their mobile devices from elsewhere in the museum. Live audio description will be provided: devices will be available at the museum and audience members may also use their personal devices to access the audio description through a URL provided on-site. \nAccessibility: ASL interpreted\, audio description\, touch tour\, wheelchair accessible \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/barak-ade-soleil-shift/

SUMMARY:LAST NIGHT AND THE NIGHT BEFORE at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:Monique and her daughter Sam are on the run. From what\, they will not say. Showing up on their family’s doorstep in Brooklyn\, the surprise visit raises more questions than it answers.

SUMMARY:Maggie Bridger | Scale at High Concept Labs
DESCRIPTION:Limited capacity. Advanced registration is required.\nMasking is required for this performance. \nUsing the pain scale as a primary source material\, Scale places medicalized methods of quantifying pain in conversation with alternative ways of reading and attending to pain emerging from the disability community\, ultimately proposing new ways of caring for the bodymind in dance. These complex interactions between medicalization\, care\, and community are explored through movement\, video\, and the use of access tools for both performers and audience members. Scale invites audience members to attend to their own embodied experience of the piece\, offering pillows\, blankets\, and other care objects as tools for curating the way they engage with and experience the work. Scale poses questions around the ways that we perceive pain\, ultimately reaching toward a more compassionate and disability-informed way of creating and performing dance. \nEach performance is followed by a Crafting Care event that serves as a sort of informal “talk back” with some of the artists\, as well as an opportunity to join in the crafting practice that informed much of the work of Scale. Audience members are encouraged to bring their own crafting projects\, participate in a group embroidery project\, or simply share space and chat about Scale in community with the artists and other audience members. \nCOLLABORATORS\nPerformers: Maggie Bridger\, Jordan Brown\, Joán Joel\, Alex Neil-Sevier\, Robby Lee Williams\nCostumes and Visual Art: Reveca Torres\nSound Design: Shireen Hamza\nCrafters: Margaret Fink\, Sandy Guttman\, Alison Kopit\, Ashley Miller\nAccess information \nACCESS DURING PERFORMANCE\nCaptions\, American Sign Language\, audio descriptions\, opportunities to rest\, and sensory notes are incorporated into the performance in ways that we hope generate a unique\, thoughtful experience for each audience member. The methods we’re using to incorporate these elements into the performance are experimental and may differ from the ways these tools are encountered in other arts spaces. We are continuing to learn\, develop\, and experiment alongside our community and welcome feedback on these elements\, particularly from members of the community that rely on these various tools to access performance. \nCOVID Protocols:\nMasking is required in the performance space. Mana Contemporary\, though\, is a shared building that does not require masking and there may be unmasked people outside of the performance space. You are welcome to bring your own mask or grab one of the high quality masks available to audience members in both adult and child sizes at the building’s entrance. All performers will be masked\, though there is a moment in the work where performers layer masks one on top of the other\, which may cause their masking to be less effective for a short period of time. \nArriving at Mana & Wayfinding:\nAll audience members will enter the ramped entrance to Mana Contemporary located on the west side of the building near the Throop street entrance to the parking lot. Audiences will then be guided through the building to the performance space by the performers\, two of whom use ASL and will be able to guide Deaf and hard of hearing audience members. The first 30 minutes of the performance time is dedicated to audience arrival and getting situated in the performance space\, so there is no need to rush or worry about arriving precisely on time. There is time to rest\, chat\, and get settled. \nA library around the corner from the performance space will be used as a “quiet space” that folks can use to get a break from the performance\, if needed. \nAccess Tools and Sharing Space:\nThe show runs about an hour and a half with the first half hour dedicated entirely to audience members arriving and getting settled for the performance. Upon entering the space\, audience members will be offered access devices and care tools to help them feel as comfortable as possible throughout the performance. Some of the tools we have available are: \n4 blankets\n3 small weighted blankets\n9 pillows\n2 large beanbags\nYoga mats/exercise mats\nInstant hot and cold packs\nStim tools\n3 ear defenders \nIn addition to these\, you are very welcome to bring your own tools/devices. We invite you to move\, stim\, rest\, and generally make yourself comfortable during the performance. Our tools/devices will be cleaned with scent-free detergent/cleanser between each performance. \nWe ask that audience members refrain from wearing any scented perfume\, cologne\, lotion\, etc. However\, Mana Contemporary is a shared space where tenants will sometimes burn incense or use other scented products. Unfortunately\, we cannot guarantee a fully scent-free environment. \nhttps://highconceptlabs.org/events/maggie-bridger-scale

SUMMARY:A Night Out with Andrew Rannells at Music Box Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Does a job\, a home\, and a killer wardrobe make you a true adult? Andrew Rannells isn’t so sure. If he’s so successful in his forties\, then why does he still feel like an anxious twenty-something? Were the triumphs of his life actually failures? And were his failures his real triumphs? At Chicago Humanities\, the Tony-nominated actor will sit down for a witty\, fun\, and poignant conversation that looks back over his career– from the Broadway stage (The Book of Mormon) to the silver screen (Girls\, Big Mouth)–to ask what success and “adulting” really mean and whether he will ever feel like he has enough. \nA book signing will follow this program. \nThis event will have open captions\, audio description\, and ALDs. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/andrew-rannells/
