Gotham City: Post Your Review
Posted by DCA Theater on June 9, 2012 in January - July 2012 Season, Gotham City
Spun through breakdance, ballet, and heart-pumping acrobatics, a dream of “metal and stone” becomes fully realized as Chicago Dance Crash presents Gotham City, a fully choreographed graphic novel on stage. As a city is taken hostage from sunset to sunrise, only the few left spinning on pure instinct can struggle to survive this criminal underworld with their humanity intact. With a breathtaking fusion of dance styles, 10 million people are brought to life by 30 physical dancers fluent in classic and contemporary forms refined in rehearsal rooms and the subway platforms of Chicago in a moving-portrait of one night in the dark life of urban and underworld America.

From the introduction of Beverley Clack‘s Sex and Death, “What is it to be a human being? When we strip away the centuries of Western intellectual enquiry, we are left with three undeniable facts: that we are animals who are born, who reproduce sexually, and who will die.”
Catching a Jackalope
Posted by DCA Theater on June 11, 2012 in January - July 2012 Season, Incubator Series: Jackalope Theatre Company
Submitted by AJ Ware, Artistic Director for Jackalope Theatre Company currently working on Atomic Consumption
I am so excited to introduce Jackalope Theatre to the DCA‘s amazing audience. I’ve been attending shows at DCA Storefront Theater for years, and when I found out we got the opportunity to workshop a new play through the Incubator I was beyond thrilled. I could gush about everything the DCA does for the Chicago theatre community for like, a while, but our love for them isn’t changing anytime soon so here: some info about Jackalope!
Our Mission: We cultivate theatre that manifests the adventure deeply rooted in the American mythos
