Developed as a collaboration between the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and the Chicago Performance Network, IN>TIME is a Chicago performance series of new, emerging and established work by local, national, and international artists. IN>TIME features practitioners working with the medium of time and the body, crossing multiple intersections where the performing body meets text, object, sound, visual art, technology, and itself.

IN>TIME showcases outstanding performance work through an open call, an incubation program, and invitational projects. Its primary goal is to expose local performance artists to the best of concurrent national and international practices, stimulate and nurture new experimental local work, and provide a vehicle for local artists to find national exposure.

This year’s IN>TIME Series will include two commissioned works by Chicago-based emerging artists Jessica Hannah and Justin Cabrillos, both of whom have participated in the IN>TIME Incubation program to develop new work on site at the Chicago Cultural Center. Jessica Hannah will present The Living Room, a durational performance, film and sound installation about domestic life in the 50’s. Justin Cabrillos will present Faces, Varieties, Postures, deconstructing the history of the Grand Army of the Republic Hall in the Chicago Cultural Center with voice, text fragments and gesture.

Every House has a Door, a new local company led by Goat Island performance group founders Lin Hixson and Matthew Goulish will also present a new work in progress They’re Mending the Great Forest Highway, a dance for three men with a female DJ/classically trained pianist. And Phoenix, Arizona based and internationally active (Sydney Biennale May 2010) Angela Ellsworth will present Another Women’s Movement, a roaming durational tableau of well-armed frontier women.

This year’s featured international performance is Zagreb-Croatia-based experimental choreographer Selma Banic and her company OOUR has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.
