This is your sign to go see Little Fire Artist Collective ❤️‍🔥 perform this weekend at Chicago LIVE, the Midwest’s largest free performing arts festival taking place at Navy Pier! Here’s a little more about LFAC from our September newsletter 🗞️🔥

Who are you and what do you do?

Little Fire Artist Collective is a Chicago-based collaborative born out of the chaos and uncertainty of the global pandemic. We value individual artistic agency, and work together to redefine the artist/worker relationships. We believe in creating democratic arts spaces and workplaces.

How did your group begin and what has it brought to your community?

Spearheaded by a group of dancers from the Hubbard Street Professional Program, Little Fire seeks to fill a void for early to mid-career artists by acting as a creative incubator for voices and ideas that would otherwise be unseen or unheard. Little Fire also aims to make dance more accessible by providing monthly classes taught by members that are free to attend. We aim to cultivate public works and an inclusive community.

What is the most exciting thing about working with Movement on Montrose?

Movement on Montrose is an incredible facility and resource for the Chicago dance community. Little Fire is so grateful to have access to low cost studio rentals. The staff is friendly and helpful. We always look forward to our time in this space.

Join us Friday, September 18th from 6-8pm for the opening reception of Imagining Otherwise, on view from 9/18-10/25. See below for more information about this powerful group exhibition ➡️

“Imagining Otherwise” invites viewers to consider what a world built for those historically excluded from power might look and feel like, not as a distant utopia, but as a lived, felt, and continually negotiated reality.

Featuring the work of Reevah Agarwaal, Kaelyn Andrade, Alondra Ramos, Andrea Reyes, Luisa Tovar, and Carina Vargas-Núñez, the exhibition explores questions of autonomy, privacy, care, desire, and belonging. What might it mean to exist without apology? What if privacy were cultivated through care rather than imposed as a form of control? What if misbehavior could become a form of inquiry, a way of testing boundaries and imagining new possibilities?

Rooted in intimate, domestic, emotional, and social spaces, the artists in Imagining Otherwise envision alternative ways of living shaped by lived experience rather than imposed limitations. Across the exhibition, privacy becomes a shared right grounded in trust, autonomy, and self-determination. Dreams operate as both refuge and blueprint: spaces where softer futures can be rehearsed, tenderness and refusal can coexist, and playfulness and frivolity can be embraced as forms of complexity rather than apology.

Rather than presenting a singular vision of utopia, Imagining Otherwise makes room for contradiction, vulnerability, misbehavior, and desire. The exhibition centers interior lives and relational ways of being, inviting us to imagine futures shaped by mutuality, intimacy, and possibility.

We are not “improper.” We are complex, fully human beings, entitled to take up space, assert our presence, and participate in shaping the worlds we want to inhabit.

Join Megan Eberhardt (Megan Eberhardt) for a weekly community choir from 6:30-8pm on Wednesday evenings September 16th through November 11th! More details about this super cool opportunity below 🍂🎶

What is Kinship Community Choir? Kinship Community Choir is rooted in the community singing lineage, a form of group singing in which all voices are welcome and no prior singing experience is necessary. We learn all the songs orally, call-and-echo. There is no sheet music provided. Rather than a traditional choir’s focus on technique, performance, and “doing it right”, we focus on the experience of group singing itself: the pleasure and power of sounding our voice in community, the connection we experience to ourselves and fellow singers, and the attunement we carry with us when we leave.

What will we do? We will gather every Wednesday evening for 8 weeks from 6:30-8pm and learn and sing songs from the contemporary community singing movement. You’ll probably meet a few new cool people and talk with them. You’ll probably feel some pleasure, joy, grief, or release. At the end of our 8 weeks we’ll celebrate with a community-wide Big Sing Celebration. This is where we throw a big party and invite our friends and family and wider community to come sing with us. In between our gatherings you can access and listen to the recordings provided of all the songs we sing.

We will have limited hours on Monday, September 7th for Labor Day. Dance studio bookings will be available from 9am-2pm ...
