Lustre: Rehearsal Circle and Preview Film Screening
@ Comfort Station Logan Square
2579 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
Opening Friday, August 31st, from 8PM - 10PM
dropshift dance and Chicago based filmmaker Nadia Oussenko collaborate in a one night event at Comfort Station! Join us for a participatory guided movement experience that will stabilize and ground your body, followed by a preview screening of dance film, Lustre. This work explores an adaptable, physical state and our connection to the natural world and its processes of life and death. Nadia’s film is evolving alongside dropshift’s upcoming production, At Our Edges. Please join us to preview and experience the work as it evolves.
The event will take place on the lawn, weather permitting.
