at Elastic Arts
tix $17.85 adv

FFFT returns for its first iteration of sound and movement collaborations for 2026 at Elastic Arts! Freedom From and Freedom To is an exploration and celebration of artistic circumstance. Movement and sound improvisors from all around Chicago gather in front of a live audience, where they are grouped by chance. Each group performs an improvised set. We fuse diverse artistic backgrounds and practices to create unique and fleeting worlds. There will be a special opening set from musicians Sasha Masakowski, Luc Mosley, and Nick Turner alongside dancers Amanda Maraist and Nejla Yatkin. Following we’ll have 4 x 15 minute sets from on-the-spot lottery chosen ensembles. Don’t miss this!
