Co-Curated by Links Hall Artistic Associates Julie Mayo and Kate Corby
The Wrecking Project is part of a Links Hall Artistic Associates festival. It brings together nine choreographers (three trios) to work with wrecking as a creative methodology and present original works next to their wrecked versions illuminating the fluid nature of authorship and the provisional nature of meaning-making. There will be one trio per evening over three nights of performance.
In the mid- 1990’s choreographer Susan Rethorst began working with ‘wrecking’ as a choreographic methodology. For Rethorst this method involved inviting another choreographer midway through her process to take it over. Inspired by Rethorst’s concept, but altering it slightly, Mayo and Corby have invited a group of rigorous dance-makers with distinctive sensibilities to wreck, or re-imagine, another choreographer’s finished work.
The "wrecking process" parameters sitipulate that the original work’s performer(s) must remain the same.

From The Arctic To The Middle East (Broken Narratives by An American Flamenco Dancer)
Presented by Clinard Dance Theatre
Clinard Dance Theatre's remarkable productions are the result of years of interdisciplinary and multi-sensory research and practice . Artistic Director Wendy Clinard's recent travels in Syria with her daughter in 2009 while reading an Arctic travel epic, Kabloona, inspired their newest work to become an unparalleled experience for the senses.
From The Arctic To The Middle East (Broken Narratives by An American Flamenco Dancer) is a collaborative inquiry about the individual’s place in the buried generations of humans and in eternity. The disparate sections, true stories, facts, ideas, and sounds create moving pictures that challenge how we perceive the world around us.
Clinard's collected and arranged written scraps of natural and human histories are set to an original score by violinist Steve Gibons and performed by a musical quartet and flamenco dance alongside video projections by Marco Ferrari.
The work brings together people from a range of disciplines and different backgrounds creating a multi-sensory experience that will challenge your conceptions of origins and endings.

disRuptureEnrapture
Presented by
Nicole LeGette, blushing poppy productions, with an all-male ensemble. Guest artists include live original music by Renee Baker's Chicago Modern Orchestra Project, vocalist Louise Cloutier, and other surprises!
Celebrating 10-years as the epicenter for butoh in Chicago, Nicole LeGette, blushing poppy productions, presents disRuptureEnrapture, a vibrant, viscerally resonating piece utilizing rich metaphor, rigorous physicality, ridiculous mockery, and unconventional beauty.
Aggression, intimidation, anxiety, and violence are ravaged through hive-mind, herd-like, primal attack, stealth, and chaos with contrasting sections of radical stillness, silent isolation, and delicacy that question notions of sanity, vulnerability, and strength. Butoh is undeniably compelling- admittedly sometimes repelling- but reflects a deep compassion for being alive with bodies.
