For the six people in the Guild Complex's Poetry Performance Incubator, they have taken on the jobs of poet, playwright, ensemble member, actor, contributing set designer and…tour guide.
Tour Guides asks the question, "What is Chicago?" The variety of answers includes landmark neighborhood locations like Harold's Chicken and Moo & Oink. (It's about so much more than the Sears Tower and the John Hancock for Chicago natives.) The poets will take you on the CTA, on tours of their neighborhoods, through the tastes and smells of Chicago food and into the heart of how those of us who live here nestle next to and grate against those around us.
The Poetry Performance Incubator is a pilot project of the Guild Complex that has been percolating for the last five years. Though Chicago has a strong tradition of performance poetry, few poets have the developed sense of stage craft that actors have. Even fewer have worked in an ensemble setting. The Incubator pushes at the intersection of poetry and theater with the aim of creating a truly hybrid form. Poets and actors auditioned for the Incubator with the criteria of learning the theater or developing their writing, whichever was the less familiar for them, which included writing work for others as well as themselves and staging the work through an ensemble process.
For more information, please check the Guild Complex website www.guildcomplex.org.
We promise, you'll leave the theater knowing more about Chicago than when you got there even if you're a local.
YAY US! Come out, come out...
