Artists Up Close @ Museum of Contemporary Art

The second night of the Chicago Dancing Festival. If you're interested in learning about the origins of modern dance from some people who would really know what the heck they're talking about (imagine learning physics from Einstein's #1 student), reserve your free spot for Artists Up Close, where dancers and the respective artistic directors of the Limon Dance Company and the Martha Graham Dance Company will present a multimedia lecture and demonstration exploring the birth of modern dance.

August 19, 6 p.m., Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago Ave. Call 312-397-4010 for reservations. FREE.
