Project Bound Dance Presents Smoking Meat

Under the direction of Ashley Deran and Emily Loar, Project Bound Dance is a Chicago-based modern dance group rooted in the practice of collaboration. Interweaving partnering and choreography inspired by epic fantasy worldbuilding, Smoking Meat deliciously questions what we give up of ourselves in the pursuit of physical and social safety.

Smoking Meat was created by Deran and Loar, in collaboration with performing dance artists, and is performed by Kathryn Hetrick, Emily Loar, Ali Lorenz and Sarah Morimoto. Costumes by Jeff Hancock, Sound Design by Ashley Deran, Original Text by Emily Loar, and Prop Construction by Rachel Hartmann.

Project Bound Dance also acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council.
