When: Saturday, 6/6 2-5 pm Where: House of the Lorde, 2233 S Throop St Suite 502 Floor 5, Chicago, IL 60608 Cost: sliding scale $25-$45 Registration link in bio [home truth]: “an indisputable fact or basic truth, especially one whose accuracy may cause discomfort or embarrassment. It hits, so to speak, where you live.” - Sara Maitland, Home Truth How do our words become actions? What is the music of our language? How can language speak where we live in our bodies? In this workshop I will guide us through a series of structured movement exercises, vocal improvisations, and somatic meditations to help open up possibilities of the voice and body. The [home truth] practice is about being vulnerable and expressive through simultaneous movement and speech improvisation. We will progress through a series of scores that open up our capacity to continuously track ourselves in movement and speech, then explore different modes of improvising speech while dancing. We will perform for one another. We will witness what emerges. This workshop is limited to 10 participants. by @chrissybounce

We remix the elements of this world together, letting new iterations of the material emerge through the shifting dynamics of our needs in the moment, and your curiosity. A different show every night. by @chrissybounce

I am so jazzed to host Jeanine Durning for her first ever Chicago workshop. Jeanine's process fundamentally altered the way I viewed my creative practice and I am excited to share it with more folks. DM me for more info, or see text to email and register! MAKING our way: Workshop with Jeanine Durning Saturday and Sunday 3/8-3/9 10:30 AM- 3:30 PM Mind Body Connections: 1802 West Berteau Ave. Suite 205, Chicago Cost: $250 Sliding Scale: $150-$300 Email: ChrissyBounceMartin@Gmail.Com, limited spots available MAKING our way Since around 2009, Jeanine has been working with and through a practice she calls nonstopping.What started as a creative survival strategy progressively accumulated into a practice of self-amplification and articulation in relation to conditions of the continuous present. Nonstopping understands the dance experiment as being on the way; it persists in amplifying the mobilizing and mutable force of mind and body in the midst of undeniable, uncontrollable change and precarity. Nonstopping is a practice of active resistance to other forces (internal and external) that conspire against expression of thought, speech and body. What to Expect Folks can expect to move and speak a lot as a mode of creative practice. This workshop is open to all folks of all disciplines and experiences willing to do those things while sometimes or sometimes often not knowing why or what is being produced from it. A willingness to not know and still stay in desire is useful. We’ll discuss and write. We’ll work alone together, together in relation, or just alone, in pairs, or small groups. Bring something to write with and on. Photo Credit: Chris Cameron taken in Mind Body Connections by @chrissybounce

Very excited to perform at @elasticarts for the 5-year anniversary of the CLEAT (Chicago Laboratory for Electro-Acoustic Theatre) performance series with @oblowery as trace/play: trace/play crafts performance events that offer multi-sensory experiences for participants through live processing with AI body tracking, sonification, and generative visualization, all imbued with curiosity and serious play. #touchdesigner #interdisciplinaryperformance #interactiveart #sonification Friday, January 10th, 8pm Elastic Arts 3429 W Diversey Ave #208. . . . . . . . . [ID]: A psychedelic wall of colors on a projector screen silhouettes Chrissy, a dancer in a white jumpsuit dancing in two different photos stacked on top of one another. In the upper left hand corner of the image, a copy the trace code that reads Chrissy’s body position to generate visuals and sound to her dancing body is visible. The text on the image reads “Trace/Play does Cleat Performance Series, Friday, January 10, 8PM, 3429 West Diversey.” With logos for the CLEAT series and Elastic Arts in the bottom right corner. taken in Elastic Arts by @chrissybounce

So honored and moved to be a part of the @freedom_from_and_freedom_to family. From our performance at The Comfort Station in Logan Square on Friday, September 6th, 2024. Caged birds singing, walls come tumblin’ down. Photos by the inimitable @ricardoeadame @liyahplainjain @deaconotiscooke @tpaige22u @freedom_from_and_freedom_to @cristalsabbagh [ID]: four performers move, sing, and shout through Edra Soto’s architectural installation, “Casa de Todos,” a multicolored house-like structure with geometric cutouts of walls and open doorways. Aaliyah and Chrissy are silhouetted by street lights as they move behind the many symmetrical angled lines of the structure while Paige and Julian sing, speak, and wail the Truth in front. Sometimes the dancers are on the ground, kneeling, crouching, sometimes throwing themselves outward or climbing upward on the structure. Both Julian and Paige sing with their full bodies, facial expressions wild with grief and resilience. In the last photo, all four performers smile and embrace in a final moment of completion. taken in Comfort Station Logan Square by @chrissybounce
