SUMMARY:The Next Cup of Tea at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:Copresented with the Steppenwolf LookOut Series \nThe Next Cup of Tea is a solo dance-theater performance by Anjal Chande that investigates how to make sense of the never-ending impulses that run through our hearts\, our everyday moments\, and our contradictory experiences. Through improvisational dance and storytelling\, Chande reflects on money\, her grandfather\, the politics of art\, and more. Zigzagging between the gnawing inner world and daily physical routine\, The Next Cup of Tea traverses through all that is ordinary\, appalling\, and enchanting. \nThis performance was originally scheduled as a part of the MCA’s 2023 Chicago Performs series\, organized by Tara Aisha Willis\, former curator\, with Laura Paige Kyber\, Assistant Curator. \nSpecial Thanks from the Artist\nGratitude to all the collaborators who have contributed to previous iterations of this work across seven years of process. Shout out to the following individuals who shaped recent versions during the pandemic (2021) and a live showing at Tanztage in Berlin (2019): Gina Hoch-Stall (dramaturg)\, Jesse Hunter (musician)\, Karl Olson (musician)\, Josh Anderson (cinematographer)\, Emese Csornai (lighting design)\, David Ofori-Amoah (material design)\, Jorge Rodolfo De Hoyos Jr. (dramaturg)\, and Sophia New (mentor). \nAccessibility: ASL interpretation and audio description \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/the-next-cup-of-tea/

SUMMARY:Kara Swisher: A Tech Love Story at First United Methodist Church
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning journalist Kara Swisher has been sharing her witty\, scathing take on the tech industry’s disruptive force for decades. Chicago Humanities hosts Kara as she intertwines tales of innovation and the complex power transformation of Silicon Valley\, while highlighting its perilous position as a global power hub\, and urging thoughtful action. Covering the 1990s digital explosion\, Swisher’s relentless reporting exposed Silicon Valley truths\, prompting CEOs to joke about her eavesdropping skills. In her latest work\, Burn Book: A Tech Love Story\, her continued coverage of tech history and influential interviews with industry titans reveal the ambition and downfall of giants and her views on new powerful AI tools changing the world. Despite chronicling the damage\, Swisher remains optimistic about tech’s potential to help solve problems and not just create them. \nThis event will have Assistive Listening Devices and Open Captions. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/kara-swisher/

SUMMARY:Notes From the Field at TimeLine Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Witness the powerful stories of 19 individuals fighting to overcome and transform America’s education and criminal justice systems.\nTHIS STRIKINGLY INTIMATE PIECE presents snapshots from a variety of real people\, documenting their intersections with the American dream and the obstacles that work to block them from it. Utilizing verbatim dialogue pulled from more than 250 accounts from students\, faculty\, prisoners\, activists\, politicians\, and victims’ families\, Notes from the Field takes audiences on an emotional journey through the faults and injustices of an American criminal justice system that seems more focused on incarceration over education. Deeply human\, profoundly moving\, and full of moments of humor\, compassion\, and resilience\, it’s a masterful work that asks you to observe\, be present\, and join the call for urgent and necessary change. \nOriginally performed by creator Anna Deavere Smith as a one-woman show\, in TimeLine’s Chicago premiere\, three actors weave together narratives of change makers\, activists\, and those caught within the system for an evening of theatre unlike anything you’ve experienced before. \nCONTENT ADVISORY: Notes from the Field contains frank descriptions and depictions of racial violence\, police brutality\, and incarceration\, as well as some instances of insensitive language.\nIf there are certain themes or topics you know may cause you distress\, please reach out to the Box Office at 773.281.8463 x6 for more specific information. \nAccessibility: audio description \nAudio Described Performance of NOTES FROM THE FIELD
