On April 8, FUGUE STATE brings the second of two new programs to Elastic Arts Foundation, featuring radical cinema, new premieres, expanded cinema performances, and interactive installations!
Two new configurations bringing modern production-influenced approaches to virtuosic acoustic performance: plunderphonic-acoustic duo Alana Detonators and a trio by Julian Pujol Qualls with special guest Marcos Morales from Miami.
April’s CLEAT Series welcomes two Chicago artists presenting solo work, Teerath Majumder and Jaehoon Choi.
Shake Shook Shaken is a theater/movement workshop series produced by Julie Meckler. The series is designed for people to gently bring body awareness, allowing participants to open up, explore outside of their comfort zone, bond with each other, create and show. By playing with these concepts using our bodies, voices, words, and each other, we will explore our own awareness and sensitivity as artists and people.
FFFT returns for its first iteration of sound and movement collaborations for 2026 at Elastic Arts!
Join us this Sunday for a special live taping of an in-the-round performance from Double Helix Quartet. The band finds Fred Jackson Jr., Ishmael Ali, Bill Harris and Avreeayl Ra in compact, highly responsive conversation, as alto saxophone, cello, drums and flute intersect in rhythmic propulsion, textural depth and incisive group invention, yielding a vivid, incisive document of Chicago-led collective improvisation. Music at 7:30pm!
Chicago percussionist and composer Tim Daisy has prepared a new set of scores for two percussionists and piano, which he will present every Monday in April as part of the Homeroom Residency series at Elastic Arts.
Pleiades is excited to team up with Patchbent for a joint jam, bringing our communities together for a night of music and connection. After such a fun mixer at ESS this past February, we’re looking forward to coming together again and seeing what unfolds.
