Join award-winning artist and Austinite Marvin Tate, in collaboration with artist-organizer and cultural producer Laura Shaeffer, for a very special two day celebration: Crossing Austin: A Party in Two Parts.
A Party in Two Parts brings two communities, the Austin neighborhood in Chicago and its neighboring community Oak Park, together through art, music, and nature.
Part one:
Freedom From and Freedom To
The first part of this two-part series features a dance performance, Freedom From and Freedom To, created and curated by Cristal Sabbagh at Compound Yellow.
This performance is an exploration and celebration of artistic circumstance. Movement and sound improvisors from all around Chicago gather and are grouped by chance by the audience. Each group performs an improvised set fusing diverse artistic backgrounds and practices to create unique and fleeting worlds.
Dancers include Irene Hsiao, Amanda Maraist, Chrissy Martin, Gaby Martinez, and Cristal Sabbagh with musicians Sarai Bernice, Paige Brown, JayVe Montgomery, olula negre, Ariel Foster, and Nick Turner.
Part two:
A very special version of “Jazz on da block” curated by Marvin Tate
The second part of this two-part series includes a garden party and a one-of-a-kind variety show. This celebration, featuring art and entertainment, centers around family, community, and its future in Marvin Tate’s childhood neighborhood of Austin.
Performers include Marvin Tate, Sam Thousand, Kareem Bandealy, The Rev. Punch Fizz, and JayVe Montgomery.
Space is limited. RSVP required.
Both events are free, BYOB, lights snacks provided
