Fraction: Dance in Progress
Produced by:
Francesca Bourgault and Links Hall
Come experience new dance works, share your feedback and get a chance to chat with the artists about the motivations behind their choices.
Four artists will be sharing their latest work:
Emma Draves
Annie Rudnick
Sarah Rabbers
Meg Anderson
Why?
-We, as Chicago's dance community, don't have enough performance opportunities without the expectation from the audience of a fully produced show.
-Most compilation showcases of work are curated rather than an open call to artists.
-Being aware of current work and sharing feedback with our peers strengthens our individual voices and our community.
Suggested Donation: $5 at http://worksinprogresslh.eventbrite.com/

Draupadi Krishnaa
presented by Emma Draves
Draupadi Krishnaa is a performance installation integrating the audience into the experience of Draupadi, wife of the five Pandava warriors, as her freedom is gambled away in a dice game. When no one steps forward to save her, Draupadi saves herself.
The Prism
presented by Meg Anderson
A small child, discovers a prism and it’s magical effects for the first time. For this works-in-progress showing, I will bring this story into the modalities of movement and voice and see how it forms into what looks like a good beginning for this larger work.
Pursuit
presented by Sara Rabers
The blood pursues the body every minute of the day but do we pursue what we desire? What do we pursue?
Choreographer: Sarah Rabbers & Dancers from Tapestry Dance Company
