Take Up Space is back! Join us in celebrating the phenomenally talented female choreographers and artistic directors of Chicago. Take Up Space 2022 will feature performances by Moonwater Dancer Project, Peckish Rhodes Performing Arts Society, Hot Crowd, Trifecta Dance Collective, and Jackie Nowicki. The evening will consist of engaging performances, drinks, and rubbing shoulders with artists and art lovers alike- all taking place at the fun and intimate Trigger Chicago.
Take Up Space was created in 2019 by Megan Rhodes and Mackenzie King. What started off as a collaborative evening-length work quickly grew into a 4-night dance festival. Take Up Space 2019 featured 12 female choreographers from Chicago and beyond. Take Up Space 2020 was a 2-week virtual dance film and photography festival. Take Up Space 2021 was an intimate in-person performance with a Livestream option. Take Up Space 2022 will be a joyous celebration of the Chicago Arts Community, bringing together art enthusiasts and artists like never before! This festival is produced with the intention of giving talented female artists a platform to share their work and to take the space they deserve.
