The Colorboration Project Chicago Continues

March 2011 we debuted The Colorboration Project Chicago in Logan Square. During that time we collaborated with some amazing people and musicians. We learned a lot and made a lot of art. We have continued to cultivate many of the friendships we began last March.  We were in Chicago in October for a  while after ArtPrize and did several things, not the least of which was two wonderful night at Brown Rice with Renee' Baker and a sextet from the Chicago Modern Orchestra Project...


On the last night before Tali returned home to the Netherlands we had  very special night with our friend Rick Neuhaus. Rick put together a drum circle made up of some members of his group Near Hemisphere and also gave every one in the audience an instrument so that everyone was in the band.


It was magical.




It is with this energy and momentum that Tali and I will be back in Chicago March 17 - April 24, 2012 to do The Colorboration Project Chicago Loop. 


Thanks to the Chicago Loop Alliance and the Pop-Up Art Loop we will be in a downtown space at 208 S. Wabash Avenue. We are very excited and already have a very full schedule of collaborators.


Please stay tuned for what is about to happen. If you are in Chicago, plan on stopping by, it will be worth it.


Let's make 2012 amazing.

    1. Hi Marianna:
      I think it would be very interesting to work with your dance and masks... We are really trying to broaden our reach and open ourselves up to expressions I have to ask if you know any musicians that you have worked with in the past that would like to come along with you and your masks? It sounds like fun, it has been a while since we involved any dance.
      best,

  2. Oo, I'm going to ask Marianna if she'd like me to drum for her and maybe sing. She's really an incredible artist. And this project sounds beautiful - wish I'd seen you in Logan Square last time.
