Created by a small but energetically large performance-arts group that calls the Windy City home, OosImaginary focuses its attention on fine tuning that elusive art of improv.
Consisting of a trio of performers—Lisa Frank, Teddy Rankin-Parker and Sam Goodman—the troupe is currently on a mini national tour, blending mediums into a whirlwind and intense performance that synthesizes forms with results that are surprisingly unpredictable for audiences and performers alike.
Through
pure intensity and intuition, the troupe is a quest to “strive for a
holistic, or ‘total’ improvisation, in which roles of musician, dancer
and actor may disintegrate, leaving nothing but space, bodies in it and
their tools of expression.”
OosImaginary @ Sugar Space Studio for the Arts, 616 Wilmington Ave. (2190 South), 888-300-7898, July 10-11, 8 p.m., $10-$12. TheSugarSpace.com
