Spring 2014 LinkUp Showcase
Featuring: Lara Oppenheimer and Hannah Verrill

Storytelling, lecture, balloons, and a golden ball traverse the
territory of pleasure and fear between the kitchen and pond, frog and
princess, utopia and apocalypse. Created and performed by Lara
Oppenheimer, Marie Casimir, Jessica Marasa and Lindsay Hopkins, "The
Space Between Us" explores intimacy, economy and ecology through the
lens of a fairy tale and the question of how we name home. Lara's LinkUp residency is an investigation into the ways an alternative
economy can support artistic work and vice versa. Throughout the
residency, members of the community were invited to share skills and
offer artistic support, being paid in time credits through the Chicago
Time Exchange. www.chicagotimeexchange.com

Limits Move Me Still is a performance by Hannah Verrill in
collaboration with Alyssa Moxley (sound), Sabri Reed (set), and
Christine Shallenberg (dramaturgy). Developed during a six-month
residency at Links Hall, Verrill’s choreography responds to the
simultaneous rigidity and malleability of an architectural surround. Her
movement through the performance space reflects our unstable perception
of time and the shifting nature of a performing body.
