"IN>TIME 2010 Showcase"
Developed as a collaboration between the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and the Chicago Performance Network, IN>TIME is a Chicago performance series of new, emerging and established work by local, national and international artists. IN>TIME features practitioners working with the medium of time and the body, crossing multiple intersections where the performing body meets text, object,sound, visual art, technology and itself.
IN>TIME showcases outstanding performance work through an open call, an incubation program, and invitational projects. It’s primary goal is to expose local performance artists to the best of concurrent national and international practices, stimulate and nurture new experimental local work, and to provide a vehicle for local artists to find national exposure.
This year’s showcase event is co-sponsored by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago Performance Department and features:
Justin Cabrillos, Angela Ellsworth, Every House has a Door, Jessica Hannah, OOUR
