Featuring-
1. Anatomic Motion: Two chronophotographic sequences of 12 prints each in the style of Eadweard Muybridge. Both depict the erratic, explosive and even controlling nature of stress, the first capturing a dancer as she performs an original, choreographed composition, the second in the face of the dancer as she attempts to execute the unpredictable combination of rapid and controlled movement textures in the piece.
2. You're Listening Too: This hour-long student documentary aims to bring attention to the complex and important legacy of political dissidence at UChicago and its relationship to Eastern Europe.
3. Supplanting Biophobic Loneliness: The anthropocene diverges from previous ages in its human/non-human bifurcation. This era is shrouded in biophobia, or an aversion towards nature, and an epidemic of loneliness. We thus foster the human/non-human in a transdisciplinary manner

MORE ON THE PLAY
Everyone dies, but not everyone’s death is pre-ordained by Shakespeare. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead puts the spotlight on two of Shakespeare’s minor characters as they wrestle with fundamental, pressing questions of identity, loss, fate, friendship, and the absurdity of existence. As they hurtle towards their imminent demise, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern unlock what it means to be truly alive.

After directing The Hard Problem, Arcadia, Travesties, and The Invention of Love at Court and Rock ‘n’ Roll at Goodman Theatre, Director Charles Newell turns his expert eye to Tom Stoppard once more. His deconstructed interpretation of one of Stoppard’s earliest and best-known works propels the story forward with newfound immediacy. And, in so doing, Newell unveils the emotional in the existential, and urges us to reconsider what we know about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Hamlet, and perhaps even Tom Stoppard himself.
