Presenting “Bento & other dances,” a program of six works that includes two premieres, on March 17 & 18 at the Hamlin Park Theater. The two premieres, both choreographed by Winifred Haun, will be “Bento,” a group work and “Disquiet,” a solo.
“Bento” is a work for 10 dancers that uses movement to describe the concept of the box, or the sectioned container, within a box. Throughout the past 150 years or so, visual artists such as Joseph Cornell, have created 3-dimensional art objects that are boxes with shelves or boxes within boxes. These sectioned boxes often have objects in them made by others. Bento will explore this concept by incorporating dance phrases made by others (with their permission) with newly made dance phrases, creating dances within a dance.
Check it out! This is a must see event for all artistic, eclectic and intrinsic folks. This performance can be seen on Thursday & Friday, March 17 & 18 at 7:30pm at Hamlin Park Theater, 3035 N. Hoyne (near Damen & Diversey) in Chicago. Street parking is available. Tickets are $20 for general admission.
