Freedom From and Freedom To

FFFT returns for its second iteration of sound and movement collaborations for 2026 at Elastic Arts! Freedom From and Freedom To is an exploration and celebration of artistic circumstance. Movement and sound improvisors from all around Chicago gather in front of a live audience, where they are grouped by chance. Each group performs an improvised set. We fuse diverse artistic backgrounds and practices to create unique and fleeting worlds. There will be a special opening set from Pittsburgh duo Slowdanger. Following we’ll have 4 x 15 minute sets from on-the-spot lottery chosen ensembles. Don’t miss this!
