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:Chuck Klosterman with Mark Bazer on the ‘90s
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a toast and a roast to the ‘90s—a wild and confusing decade of colossal change (think the rise of the internet\, the downfall of landlines\, and the end of pre-9/11 politics).

SUMMARY:Carmela Full of Wishes | ASL Interpreted Performance
DESCRIPTION:It’s Carmela’s birthday\, and her wish has already come true–she’s finally old enough to join her big brother as he does the family errands. On their way to the laundromat\, past fields of what Mamí calls “flores de cempazuchitl\,” Carmela finds a lone dandelion growing in the pavement. But before she can blow its puffy white fluff away\, her brother asks\, “did you even make a wish?” If only she can think of just the right wish to make. \nFull of touching and funny fantasies\, the book\, and now the play\, portrays Carmela’s migrant community as a vibrant place of possibility. Join families from all over the city for this moving ode to family\, to dreamers\, and to finding hope in the most unexpected places. \nOpen Captioned in English and Spanish \nhttps://chicagochildrenstheatre.org/event/carmela/
