“Kiss.” Choreography by Stephanie Martinez Chicago, IL October 3-4, 2020
Please join PARA.MAR Dance Theatre for our Inaugural Outdoor Performance Series Saturday, October 3rd & Sunday, October 4th.
4 Shows. 4 Classes. Pay What You Can.
PARA.MAR presents a weekend of outdoor donation-based, public dance performances in an expansive outdoor lot in the Avondale neighborhood of Chicago. In addition to ensuring these performances are safe and socially-distanced, we are hosting a free, family friendly, all abilities movement class before each performance. For your safety, attendance is limited.
“Diverse in ethnicity yet speaking the same movement language, Para.Mar flexed ballet technique that could go toe to toe with any of Chicago’s long-standing ballet companies—in socks—flaunting envious extensions and arabesques for days. Vignettes of steamy partnering percolated in between impressive lifts and cloth-covered kisses. They swept their bodies across a red, carpeted stage on a horizontal plane, reeling in not just their designated audience but cyclists in the bike lanes as well. In that moment, I knew this was beyond making dance accessible. This was about making dance essential.”
