Chicago Dance History Project (CDHP), which investigates, documents, and presents the individual and institutional past of Chicago dance, presents an Interview Marathon, a live, day-long, digital event.
Interview subjects include local, national, and international dance luminaries who produce, present, create, and perform in Chicago. Each hour will feature three individual interviews and one small-group conversation on a specific theme, such as Artistic Director Legacies, Dance Education on the South Side, Presenting and Commissioning Dance, and Archives as a Tool for Social Justice. Clips of archival footage, some unseen until this event, will be interspersed between live interview segments. CDHP will record the live event and add the footage to its expanding archive of oral histories.
