Dinner Dance, vM

(2013)

Featured as an all-day performance in conjunction with a “Family Day” at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, DINNER DANCE took over the museum with participatory performance activities and a culminating dinner activity. The performance took place from 10am-8pm on October 1, 2013 at 220 E Chicago Ave.

DINNER DANCE, vM was collaborative and interdisciplinary, a workshop-as-performance. The public was invited to participate in stations spread across the museum, performing activities such as dishwashing, toasting, and bedroom dancing. To close the evening, a multi-course meal served as a choreographic score, and gallery spaces were reimagined.
