A workshop in curiosity, in new forms of making. We'll think about bodies, about research, about ways to blend theater, text, music, & movement.

Founded in the practices of devised experimental theater, this workshop will focus on performance, but is open to all — performers and non-performers alike! Musicians, movers, artists, architects, writers, thinkers...

Bring a notebook and comfortable shoes / clothes for moving.

Corey Smith is a composer, writer, and performer based in Chicago, Illinois. He works in a hybridized performance style — a mixture of original music, text, and movement. Corey has been an artist in residence at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory, and Grin City. He is a 2017 and 2018 grantee of the City of Chicago's Individual Artist Program as well as a 2018 recipient of an Emergency Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. His work has been seen at Links Hall, the Detroit Fringe Festival, and numerous venues around the American Midwest.

Presented in collaboration with the Department of Composition and Living Arts.
