QUEERING THE NIGHT THIS MONTH WILL FEATURE IAN HATCHER. DON'T MISS IT & BRING YOUR LAPTOP!
BRING YOUR LAPTOP TO THIS EVENT!
Insight Arts presents “Queering the Night,” a monthly LGBTQI open mic that invites writers and performers to rant about what it's like to be LGBTQI in a time of war and socio-economic crisis in the U.S. The event, happening at the Center for New Possibilities, 1505 W. Morse, starts off at 7 p.m. with the open mic that segues into a reading/performance of a featured local artist.
On March 13, Queering the Night features IAN HATCHER, a writer, programmer and musician. In 2008 he read and performed at the Electronic Literature Organization Conference in Washington, the Electronic Literature in Europe Conference in Norway, and the Interrupt festival at Brown University, as well as in a number of venues around Chicago. He composes music for the Moving Architects dance company.
“The piece I have in mind is a reading involving realtime audience participation through wireless internet,” Ian said about his upcoming performance. He asks audience to bring in their laptops to the reading for an exciting interactive event. “The more participants the better!” You may check out Ian’s website at clearblock.net
At the open mic, artists may share work that deal with race, class, gender, immigration, and other serious issues that contextualize a queer identity, but may also talk about family, love, relationships, sex, and other experiences that make for a full and exciting existence in a terribly homophobic world. Lani T. Montreal and Joey Flores host.
