Calesthenics for Shrapnel

Curated by Artistic Associate Marty McConnell

Headlined by Dorothy Allison, award-winning author of Bastard Out of Carolina and poet and Nationally renowned slam poet Tristan Silverman (Saturday Night Only).

Hosted by Avery R. Young



CALISTHENICS FOR SHRAPNEL
is a two-weekend festival offering audiences and performers the opportunity to "work it out" over two of the most volatile and enmeshed issues in our lives and our world. Through poetry/spoken word, humor, movement and sound, CRUSH lets us confront topics relating to gender and sexuality, while SMASH brings to stage the realms of race and class and their many intersections and points of impact.

 

Flight: Variety, a sampling of performance celebrating and exploring aspects of gender and sexuality.

In wine tasting, a "flight" is an array of variations for the purpose of sampling and comparison. In our festival's Talent Flight, performers will line up to form a "tasting night" of exciting performance exploring the topics at hand.

featuring:

  • burlesque by Girlie-Q, Chicago's longest-running burlesque and variety troupe
  • comedy by the hilarious Brendan McGowan
  • Marty McConnell with band John Condron and the Benefit: poetry and music
  • spoken word by poet/storyteller Jeanne Theresa Newman
  • performance by drag king superstar poet K. Bradford
