Najee-Zaid Searcy comes together with Paige Brown & Aaliyah Christina to present the multi-talented trio in a fusion of visual, sonic, and tactile multimedia performance. They join forces to benefit Link Hall’s Lifeline for Links campaign in an effort to sustain an important incubator in Chicago’s performance community. The trio explore and manifest our collective dreams through magical realist imagery, vocalized text, and movement inspired by Japanese and Afro-diasporic motifs.

FUN LITTLE THING features a mix of artists and mediums for an evening that is fun, little, and a thing. Variety is the spice of life.

We invite Links Hall artists, staff, board, audiences, supporters, neighbors, and general community to join an evening of discussion and sharing. And food! We will break bread and share out the work from our Community Circle discussions over the past 4 months.

For when I land is a solo made by Sophie Minouche Allen with and for McCall McClellan as McCall navigates a temporarily nomadic life — traveling, living and dancing between Chicago, LA and Washington DC. We wonder what it means to be born into a life of perpetual motion and look to manta rays to examine what putting down “mobile roots” might feel like.
