Still Inspired’s 10th season production will feature contracted Chicago visual artist Jennifer Cronin and their series titled “There is Still Magic Here.” Three dance choreographers are collaborating with Cronin. Rehearsals begin in November, 2023 where contracted movement artists will collaborate with choreographers to create an evening-length production, taking place on March 2, 2024. The evening will conclude with an artist talk-back and Q&A with the visual artist, choreographers, and performers. The Board of Directors will bring together a diverse cast whose perspectives open a wider lens into our human existence, ultimately sharing with an audience in the accessible Vittum Theater of Chicago. A grant from the Gig Fund would assist payment for artist fees and venue costs, allowing Still Inspired to provide complimentary tickets to low-income youth teen groups, and discounted tickets to college students and seniors, helping us all find the beauty and magic among us.
