Chicago Cultural Center Dance Studio Residency: Erin Kilmurray
@ Chicago Cultural Center
78 E Washington St, Chicago, IL 60602
Opening Monday, June 9th, at 6PM
Erin Kilmurray and collaborators open their practice space to audiences. Attendees will see excerpts of material that was developed during the residency. Afterwards, there will be open space and time to reflect on what was shared and re-connect with one another on the dance floor as DJ and project sound designer Ariel Zetina plays us out.
Erin Kilmurray (she/they) is a dance artist creating genre-straddling, femme-forward performance work that demands aliveness and collectivity on stage, in studio, and with audiences. They facilitate a dance and community practice that relentlessly explores the celebrations and liberations of women, queer folks, the underground, and the underdog. Her work embraces mess, play, pleasure, spectacle, DIY sensibilities, and lessons in how arbitrary the line between artist and audience can be. Erin is recognized with a 2024 US Artist Fellowship, 2023 Illinois Arts Council Fellowship, 2023 Links Hall Co-MISSION Fellowship, 2020 Chicago Dancemakers Lab Artist, and one of 50 People Who Really Perform for Chicago (2023; Newcity). She is the creator / director of legendary queer punk dance and variety performance project The Fly Honey Show, (est.2010) — which has grown to be featured at Lollapalooza, sell out iconic music venue Thalia Hall, and be named a “Chicago institution” (Chicago Reader).
