Gala LXIV (six.four)

Join us for Gala LXIV (six.four)- Chicago Dance Crash’s biggest celebration of the year! The benefit will take place on Monday, May 19th, from 6:30 PM-9:00 PM at Hairpin Arts Center in Chicago’s Logan Square.

Be among the first to witness the world premiere of “Immortal Games”, a new work and excerpt from Crash’s upcoming repertory production LXIV (six.four). Choreographed by James Morrow, this electrifying work explores the tactical brilliance of chess with the raw intensity of dance battles, pushing the boundaries of embodied play through athleticism and strategic precision.

This exclusive preview features live musical accompaniment by composer Rob Flax, who will create the score in real time using an interactive musical chessboard - played live by both Flax and Morrow.

• Post-Performance Talkback: Participate in a discussion about the creation of the work with visiting choreographer James Morrow, composer Rob Flax and Artistic Director KC Bevis after the performance.
• Festive Atmosphere: Enjoy an open bar, delectable small bites and get down to the beats of a live DJ (a familiar face will be spinning all night long!)
• Raffle: Take part in our community raffle featuring donated baskets, class passes, performance tickets and more from Crash community partners! 
• Exclusive Premiere: Be among the first to witness LXIV (six.four) with live accompaniment before the full-length repertory premiere on Saturday, May 24 at the Ann Barzel Theater in Visceral Dance Center.
  

This event offers the exclusive opportunity to meet and mingle with the artists of Chicago Dance Crash, witness a world-premiere interactive performance, and get a sneak peek of the company’s upcoming repertory production. Pair your boldest streetwear with a regal twist: think luxe textures, statement kicks, or that one piece that always makes you feel ten moves ahead. Don’t miss this chance to support the company and celebrate the legacy of Chicago Dance Crash!
