Brandon Wetherbee — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 04:37:32 +0000

If you’re not familiar with the incredible artistry and athletic ability that is modern dance, the Joffrey Ballet is making it easy for you to fully embrace this art form. The company is in the midst of the Chicago Dancing Festival. It wraps this Saturday with a free performance open to the public. Mayor Emanuel approved, this evening is perfect for anyone looking for a night on the town on the gorgeous lake front.

The direction team will be distributing Joffrey Ballet fans this Saturday evening to concertgoers at the Chicago Dancing Festival in Millennium Park. We’re thrilled to be working with the Joffrey for the first time and looking forward to future promotions with this prestigious institution.

The final night of the Chicago Dancing Festival is this Saturday evening at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. The performance begins at 7:30pm and no ticket is required. For more information about the festival and the Joffrey Ballet, please visit chicagodancingfestival.com.

I spoke briefly last week about Millennium Park’s upcoming presentation of Teatr Zar’s Caesarean Section and our development of a Polish Route to help them best reach the Polish National community within Chicago. We completed the route last week and are confident that our outreach has already raised awareness for the upcoming shows.

Millennium Park is rounding out its fall and winter theater season with Poland’s ground-breaking troupe, Teatr Zar, and their U.S. premiere of Caesarean Section. This international theater company, never before seen in Chicago, is widely recognized for fusing movement and music with haunting images. Audiences will have a chance to experience this compelling production from intimate seating on the stage behind the Jay Pritzker Pavilion’s glass doors.In Caesarean Section, Teatr Zar explores the question of freedom and its limitations, and draws on the music of Corsica, with Bulgarian, Romanian, Icelandic and Chechen songs interwoven.

Caesarian Section will be running from Thursday, November 12 through Friday, November 14th. Tickets are $35 and more information can be found by clicking here.

Did you know we have a free service in which we can build customized routes specifically for your project or production? This week Millennium Park inquired about our abilities in covering the Chicagoland Polish community to promote their show with Teatr Zar and their US premier of Caesarean Section. We quickly researched, confirmed, and built a route that includes locations that specifically cater to the Polish Community. We targeted over 100 locations in the south and northwest sides of the city in 9 neighborhoods including Archer Heights, Clearing, Garfield Ridge, Belmont Central, Avondale, and a number of others.

Give us a call to discuss how we can best reach your niche audiences.

Every year when summer rolls along, I always ask “what’s happening at Millennium Park this year?” Since it’s opening 5 years ago, Millennium Park has become a staple when it comes to summertime in the city. This summer, there are a slew of events including the Music Without Borders Series, Made in Chicago: World Class Jazz, and the new Edible Audible Picnic, where free, eclectic, live musical performances are given at noon while people can enjoy their lunch. We’ve almost completed a large scale distribution of season brochures for Millennium Park, which detail everything happening this summer. Be sure to pick one up in order to plan your outings today!

Usually February is a month reserved for staying indoors to hide from the intense, brutal cold Chicago offers. But, for one weekend, Millennium Park will coax families out of their homes in order to attend Frozen Fun Fest. Featuring a wide range of activities including ice skating and theatrical performances, Frozen Fun Fest is intended for families who are sick of being cooped up during the winter, and are looking to have some fun in the cold. And while the kids are making their way through the Ice Maze, parents can enjoy a warm beverage courtesy of Starbucks while they have their Ice Portraits taken. Frozen Fun Fest has something to offer for all members of the family.

Frozen Fun Fest takes place at the Chase Promenade at Millennium Park February 7th-8th 10am-4pm.
