Research Project is a low-tech, bimonthly works-in-progress performance series hosted by OuterSpace Studios. RP brings together artists in the midst of their creative processes to show work, share process, give & receive responses, and chew the fat. This opportunity provides a community forum for experimentation, emerging ideas, and artist-to-peer support. We welcome artists and their work at any phase in their careers and processes.
Research Project was started by Greer Dworman and is now coordinated by Nora Sharp with Aurora Tabar and the support of OuterSpace & The Watering Can Dance.
If you’re interested in showing work, please know and send along the following:
– RP is shaped to serve movement-based artists, though we encourage a broad view of this language.
– Please send us a brief description of the work you wish to share, where you are in your process, and what you hope to gain from this in-progress opportunity. What are you looking for from your audience?
– If possible, please send a link to a brief work sample reflecting your current research.
– Please let us know the length of time that would best serve your needs in showing. Most performances usually run 10 minutes or under (excerpts of longer works welcome), but we are sometimes able to arrange for longer showings.
Artists will present their work at OuterSpace Studios, 1474 N. Milwaukee, 3rd Floor in Wicker Park, Chicago. We regret that there is not an elevator available at this space.
