SUMMARY:Talk | Barak adé Soleil with SHIFT Community Participants at MCA
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a communal dialog with award-winning artist Barak adé Soleil and members of the local Black and Brown neurodiverse and disabled community who are part of adé Soleil’s newly commissioned work SHIFT. \nSHIFT\, a multidisciplinary project for the MCA’s Frictions series\, has two components: \nAn installation located on the first floor of the MCA during the performance’s run\, intentionally next to a spiraling staircase that goes up to the museum’s fourth floor. Barak is creating a film that will be installed and projected onto a diamond-like platform. In this dreamlike video installation\, bodies both at rest and as they shift are visible onscreen at life-size and larger-than-life scale. The presence of Black neurodiverse and disabled bodies is amplified from many angles\, infiltrating the architecture of the museum’s iconic public stairwell. Whereas these bodies might otherwise be violently misinterpreted as either lazy or near death\, adé Soleil offers rest—and the intimacy of everyday gestures—as forms of political resistance for Black people.\nA gathering on Saturday\, May 6\, where members of the Disability community will join adé Soleil in a “promenade” throughout the museum’s public areas; at times they will ascend the staircases and take up space to make visible and apparent the power of community presence. The use of the word promenade is intentional\, drawing from its definition: “to take a leisurely public walk\, ride\, [wheel] or drive so as to meet or be seen by others.”\nSHIFT is curated by Tara Aisha Willis\, Curator of Performance & Public Practice at the MCA. \nAccess Information\nASL interpretation\, CART captioning\, and live audio description are provided. AD devices are available at the museum\, and audience members may also use their personal devices to access the audio description through a URL provided on-site. \nThis event has relaxed viewing protocols and sensory-friendly lighting. \nASL provided.Audio description available.Haptic elements used. \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/talk-barak-ade-soleil-with-shift-performers/

SUMMARY:What the Constitution Means to Me at TimeLine Theatre
DESCRIPTION:What the Constitution Means to Me is a “slyly crafted piece of persuasion and a tangible contribution to the change it seeks” (The New York Times) and a “singularly charming\, politically urgent and cathartically necessary play” (Los Angeles Times) that shows “how broad concepts of law and governance effect individual lives in the most intimate ways” (The Guardian). \nFifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious\, hopeful\, and guttingly human debate-meets-play\, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the relationship between four generations of women—all while grappling with the founding document that\, for better and worse\, shapes their lives. \nWhat the Constitution Means to Me became a sensation upon its premiere at New York Theatre Workshop in 2018 and went on to a five-month Broadway run with Schreck in the leading role\, garnering Tony Award nominations for Best Play and Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play. A national tour—launched in 2020\, paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, and resumed in 2021—followed. The play has been filmed\, again with Schreck performing\, for Amazon Prime Video. \nTimeOut New York declared: “Here is something that every citizen must see: It’s theater in the old sense\, the Greek sense\, a place where civic society can come together and do its thinking and fixing and planning.” On the heels of the reversal of the foundational Roe v. Wade ruling\, What the Constitution Means to Me is bound to feel even more relevant\, profound\, and searing than during its original run and Broadway debut. In the end\, Shreck’s personal stories reflect our own\, as does her passion\, her laughter\, and her outrage at a document that deserves to be challenged as much as it is upheld. \nAccessibility: captioning \nhttps://timelinetheatre.com/calendar/?month=June+2023&event=27464
