SUMMER RITUALS
Free Street youths performing in the Art Institute Sculpture Garden.
Each summer, Free Street youth perform in public spaces throughout Chicago such as The Art Institute of Chicago sculpture gardens; the Crown Fountain and the Wrigley Square and Millennium Park Monument at Millennium Park; various lines on the EL train and numerous locations in Chicago’s downtown area. As a group, the youth explore repetition as a pathway to ritual and ceremony through movement in space and place. Emphasis is placed on spontaneous performance, direct audience engagement and site-specific movement installations.
