The Anatomy Collective was chosen to participate in the inaugural Chicago Fringe Festival which will be held next week in venues throughout the Chicago Arts District.

Unintended Structures , The Anatomy Collective’s new work brings moments of unnoticed urbanism and unseen distraction to the surface. Acting as a guide this piece is a reminder of the voracity with which we occupy this place and unveils the indelible traces of our trajectories. By performing these Unintended Structures The Anatomy Collective propels you through the manifested channels of the urban condition. Hurdling along with the torrent of urban energy that keeps us all here, The Anatomy Collective aims to catch up to its speed in order to glimpse the stalled moments that make up the cacophony.

This piece was collaboratively conceived by a seven person ensemble of performance, sound, and light artists including Stephanie M Acosta, Felicia Bertch, Lily Emerson, Christine Ferriter, Kasey Foster, Rory Murphy, and Tara Smith. The work was developed over the course of a summer as the ensemble explored the urban center and the space around them. Be submerged in their world as they become the reflections seen in the train windows and the shadows beyond the street lights. Experience the imprints left suspended in the exhaust and the invisible patterns mapped by peripheral vision.

The Anatomy Collective is committed to engaging and combining diverse and seemingly disparate forms of creative expression. We believe the categorization of art forms inhibits the work and creates a divide in the creative community and beyond. Each story deserves its' own voice in the telling.

The Anatomy Collective is always eager to hear from performers, dancers, movers, acrobats, aerialists, visual and installation artists, sculptors, video artists, photographers, curators, musicians, noise makers, scenic designers, costumers, builders, junk collectors, stage managers, writers, producers and volunteers.
