1968: The Whole World is Watching

an immersive dance theater production

1968 takes us to Chicago as Yippies, student activists, conscientious objectors, would-be-presidents, poets, musicians, local police, and state troopers collided on the grounds of Grant Park and the streets of Michigan Avenue during the Democratic National Convention in August 1968. This interdisciplinary, multimedia performance investigates the body as both source and site of protest – mining iconic photographs, news media, music, art, actions, and events of 1968 for a deeper understanding of our conflict-ridden, intensely mediated here and now.Read more
