“7DaysDancing” is a seven-part program of free, live art experiences aiming to activate community spaces in new, inventive, and inviting ways.

This series features site-specific works utilizing the UW-Madison’s Chazen Museum of Art, meant to guide the audience through the museum while articulating the properties of spaces through the collaboration of bodies in place and motion.

“Dancing the Chazen” presents a traveling program of solos, duets, and group works choreographed and directed by Li Chiao-Ping, a professor with the School of Education’s Dance Department, in collaboration with the dancers. Performances will also feature guests like artist Seán Curran, musician Julia McConahay, writer Jerri Hurlbutt, and artist Aristotle Georgiades.

“Dancing the Chazen” is on Friday, Jan. 31 from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. and on Saturday, Feb. 1 from 6 to 7:15 p.m. The events are free and open to the public. Immediately following the Saturday performance, LCPD will host a reception and talk-back in the Chazen.
