ABOUT BODY PASSAGES
 
ORIGINS
In 2017, Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble (CDE) came together with The Chicago Poetry Center (CPC) to create an interactive poetry and dance residency and performance series called Body Passages. CDE and CPC pair professional dancers and poets to create their own artist-led projects fusing language and movement.
 
NOW IN 2018
In its second year, the 2018 Body Passages series welcomes four collaborative groups, with a total of 13 artists. This group varies in age, experience, race, gender and sexual identity, and belief systems. Over the course of 10 months, paired artists participate in ongoing conversations with other pairs around the theme of activation. .
