Rubbernecks: See Chicago Dance
Step inside a living room. It’s got a couch, a standing lamp and art leaning on the back wall–someone hasn’t gotten around to hanging it yet. The furniture has been pushed to the back corner, making way for an open floor. Upon arrival, the house party hosts are all there: eight dancers having side chats, warming up for break dancing and waving to audience members who have just entered the theater.
The artists are nothing if not experts in their singular and bona fide styles, inviting any choreography to breathe and play in its structure so their movement stories and idiosyncrasies may shine through. Crash’s blend of theatrical concert and street dance synthesizes the abstruse and the concrete in its world-building.
