Flashback Friday: She|Three

Flashing back to rehearsal outtakes from 2006! She/Three is an evening-length choreographic triptych centered around 3 Shakespearean women—Juliet, Lady Macbeth, and Ophelia—presented in 3 distinct works: Bloodlines by Brian Jeffery; til the last syllable of recorded time by Marianne M. Kim; and Referencing Ophelia by Peter Carpenter. Artistic Director Julia Rhoads shares a distinct history of collaboration with these artists from 1995-2000 through XSIGHT! Performance Group, a dance-theater company that was a unique and vital part of Chicago’s dance community.

Credits and outtakes video that was projected on stage after the house lights came up. Meant for post-show entertainment as the audience left, but the video was totally unsuccessful in that capacity because everyone stayed until the end... She/Three was an evening length choreographic triptych that muses on the shared and distinct qualities of three Shakespearean women - Juliet, Lady Macbeth, and Ophelia - through the point of view of three different artists- Brian Jeffery, Marianne Kim, and Peter Carpenter- utilizing dance, performance video, and theater. The lead artists, along with Lucky Plush Artistic Director Julia Rhoads, share a distinct history of collaboration through their affiliation with XSIGHT! Performance Group, a dance-theater company that was a unique and vital part of Chicago's dance community from 1985-2000. "Refreshingly, the artists who shaped ‘She/Three' refrain from standard re-creations of [Shakespeare's] key female characters. Instead, they address larger themes, such as thwarted love or psychological confinement that emerge from these familiar literary figures." - Chicago Tribune
