About this event

Join us for this two day performance art showcase featuring the work of ten Chicago-based artists. Two inspiring evenings of performance art, presented by ten dynamic artists who have spent the past ten weeks immersed in creative exploration at Hyde Park Art Center. This culminating showcase is the result of the Bridge Performance Incubator , a professional development program designed to spark bold ideas, nurture embodied practices, and support the creation of new work. Through a seminar-style course, artists engaged in deep dialogue, collaboration, and experimentation—receiving critical resources and guidance to evolve their practice and bring new or developing projects to life. This showcase celebrates their journey and the vibrant, ever-growing performance art community in Chicago. The Bridge Performance Incubator is made possible by the Joyce Foundation and the Guida Family Fund for Creativity. RSVP encouraged but not required. SCHEDULE: Friday, October 2, 6PM Hana Kulovic, Elizabeth Nungaray, Mami Takahashi, Keny de la Peña, and Jamila Kekulah Kinney Saturday, October 3, 6pm Amaya Torres, Maria Plotnikova, Rex Delafkaran, Seiya Abe-Bell, and Harley Reid Produced by: Rosé Hernández & Sofía Gabriel
