UPRISING #7 is dedicated to the theme of SEX & REVOLUTION and is dedicated to Red Tremmel and Jessica Halem as they leave Chicago for Olympia, WA. UPRISING #7 is part of Think Pink Radio’s “Transition Party.” Think Pink is leaving WLUW for a more concentrated blog/podcast format and CHIRP at the end of July. The Bijou is a sex club, so it will offer a great opportunity for site-specificity. Seeking volunteer performers—must be available Thursday July 24 between 7-11pm. Email Nicole.

UPRISING: 2008 monthly performances presented by Links Hall
UPRISING is monthly, site-specific performance works broadly exploring the practice of revolution. 2008 is 40 years since 1968, a year of worldwide revolutionary activity. In 2008, activists, historians, and cultural workers are contemplating the meanings and implications of this 40-year anniversary. Many comparisons are being made between 1968 and 2008.

Rather than attempting to re-create 1968, UPRISING performances create public demonstrations of the possibilities for a more loving, just and humane present and future. They are attempts at making the world in which we want to live, and then inviting people directly and immediately inside it. Performances are marked consistently by a commitment to flexible structure, ambitious intentions, and sense of humor.

We are currently seeking volunteer performers/participants for UPRISING events! If you want to be a part of the action, Email Nicole. nicolegarneau13 [at] sbcglobal.net.
