DanceWorks Chicago is excited to partner with The Ruth Page Center for the Arts on Dance Chance, a one-hour event designed to offer opportunities for choreographers to show their work informally, create a forum for dialogue among artists, and build audience for dance. Inspired by the concept of open-mic night, Dance Chance is held once a month and features 3 choreographers chosen by chance, each of whom has a 15-minute time slot to share their work. To round out the hour, the final 15-minute segment is a moderated meet-the-artist session providing an opportunity for choreographers to discuss their work and process as well as time for the audience to ask questions. At the end of each Dance Chance, the next trio of participants is chosen from names submitted by choreographers in attendance. The event, held in the intimate theater of the Ruth Page Center, 1016 N. Dearborn, is FREE and open to the public. Presenting work on Monday, November 17, from 6:00-7:00pm will be the following group of Dance Chance choreographers:
