We had a great time kickin’ around McKinley Park this afternoon with @seechicagodance! Inverted dynamos are @lauratennal and @modernballerina, photo by @mattgriffo #textiledances #chidance #chicagodancemonth #sitespecific #armknitting #danceeverywhere . Image description: a long green textile hangs from a tree in a sunny park. In the foreground a young person with long dark blonde hair wearing a blue tshirt faces away from the camera, watching two dancers, one on either side of the tree. Each dancer plants her hands on the ground, kicking her legs up with flexed feet while bending at the waist, forming an upside down “L” shape.

On the right a dancer drapes a purple textile across her back as she reaches her right arm up. 4) two women dancers wrapped in purple and green textiles twist and stretch the knitted stitches, counterbalancing with the tree.

The strawberries #top40 Lyndsae and I did a very red duet at Links Hall in 2006 with a long red scarf I knitted that reached across the room and attached to the radiators. There were strawberries involved - the duet might have been called Fruit? I danced the whole thing with a strawberry in my mouth, I remember. We also gave a box of strawberries to a random audience member to do whatever they wanted. Some people ate them, some shared them, one person threw them onstage and I can remember wondering what the first SPLAT sound was when a big berry landed on the wood floor! #strawberries #audienceinvolvement #thingsgotmessy .

The most challenging dressing room #top40 #memories Katie, Laura, and I installed and performed one of our textile dances in a massive warehouse in Cleveland. The presenter kindly reserved a bathroom for us to have as a changing room. It was...crazy. The paint was peeling off the walls, the stalls were all out of order, and there was no running water, so we put cardboard down on the ground and got down to the business of doing 7 performances in 3 days! . Where is the strangest place you’ve gotten ready for a show? . Swipe through the photos to experience the panorama. .

Images show 5 views of the same bathroom with peeling yellow paint, moldy toilet paper rolls, fallen ceiling tiles, and some kind of tubes on the ground. https://www.instagram.com/p/CL4qC_DBCE7/?igshid=d0xa2vxidxj1
