ROOMS offers audiences an immersive open house dance experience, set within the historical Chicago landmark, Colvin House, and explores sensed memories through movement, film, personal object, and fabric. Built from a creative process grounded in care, comfort, and support, the event sprawls through various spaces at Colvin with luscious and improvisational movement sequences that enable the performers to be flexible, spontaneous, and present.
This event brings together vignettes from dropshift’s Sense Series: DWELL/burrow (2022), bloom (2023) and objects (2023). The evening is not meant to be linear, but asks guests to consider their own comfort during the performance and make space for eating, drinking, exploring the immersive installations, and socializing with other guests.
