SUMMARY:Write That Down! Show & Tell
DESCRIPTION:Write That Down! is hosting a very special LOVE themed Show & Tell for February! Bring a keepsake that celebrates love in your life be it platonic\, romantic\, or some secret third thing. \nThis is the third of our monthly “Show & Tell” series at Podlasie Club in partnership with Chicago’s Guild Literary Complex. \nSHOW a keepsake that’s dear to you\, a favorite bit of junk\, or a cute knick knack; then TELL a story about your artifact and why it’s meaningful. The evening will begin with an open mic and archiving session\, followed by selected readings from past (and future) mag contributors. \nAttendees are encouraged to bring ephemera and memorabilia that they would like scanned/archived for inclusion in the magazine’s upcoming Autumn/Winter issue. \n  \nAbout Write That Down!\nWrite That Down! is an archival project and magazine capturing the particulars of our current moment\, both here in Chicago and in the world at large. The goal is to gather everyday artifacts that tell stories about what is important to us and our communities. There is no memento too big or local story too small for these pages. If it matters to you\, write it down!

With 15 years of experience in studying\, performing\, and teaching dance\, Marisela has left her artistic mark in cities like Chicago\, New York\, New México\, Perú\, Spain\, and Italy.\nHer artistic journey began at Columbia College Chicago\, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts in 2014. Marisela later obtained a master’s degree in Linguistics Applied to Spanish as a Foreign Language from the University of Nebrija in Madrid\, Spain. With over four years of teaching experience in both English and Spanish\, Marisela has served as a North American Language Cultural ambassador and has taught language classes online.\nIn the realm of dance\, Marisela has received training from master flamenco artists in Spain and has showcased her talents in various international performances. Notable achievements include winning first place at the Flamenco certamen through the Carlota Santana dance company at Lincoln Center in 2015 and headlining and directing performances in top Chicago venues. Her collaborations with renowned organizations\, such as Clinard Dance Theater in Chicago\, have led to performances at prestigious venues like the Logan Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Chicago.\nMarisela’s dance repertoire extends beyond flamenco\, encompassing ballet\, modern dance\, salsa\, and traditional Latin and Peruvian folkloric dances. She maintains a strong connection with her cultural heritage\, evident in her participation in traditional Peruvian folklore performances. \nKao Ra Zen (right) is a Chicago-based rapper\, spoken word poet\, multimedia performance artist\, video director\, recording engineer\, curator\, photographer\, and educator. Kao has performed and/or curated at venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Symphony Center\, DANK-Haus\, Elastic Arts\, Constellation\, Alhambra Palace\, Oliva Gallery\, and Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago; in addition to performances and screenings in New York; Berlin\, Germany; and turku\, Finland. Kao earned his Associate in Fine Arts degree from Harold Washington College and then earned his BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\nMuch of Kao’s written\, musical\, and performance work addresses historical and contemporary societal concerns\, existential matters\, and promotes self expression\, fostering community\, and challenging oppressive systems and intolerant perspectives. \n  \n\n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMark Nagy (left) and Neil Jendon (right) have been working in the electroacoustic medium as a duo since 2017. Collectively known as Legendary Ninja Monk\, they have been exploring and recording the graphic score Treatise by Cornelius Cardew. This epic graphic score is 193 pages long. This extensive structural investigation has fostered in depth explorations of timbral densities\, temporal manipulations\, as well as the investigations of regenerative textures. Legendary Ninja Monk music ranges from introspective musings to capricious romps. \n  \n\nChristophe Preissing is a sound composer\, intermedia artist\, improvisor\, producer\, and creative instigator whose work engages the contradictions of liminality\, memory and decay\, perception and projection\, and preservation and loss. He uses archives\, mapping\, and taxonomies to produce clouds of meaning to engage participants. His work—both intentional and indeterminate—relies on paradox and ambiguity\, found and built objects\, individual and embodied memory\, and the happy accident. cpreissing.bandcamp.com \n  \n\nLucia Peters aka Forstreuter is a seasoned dance artist with 15 years of experience\, having performed at prestigious events such as the Bauhaus Museum Dessau’s opening\, attended by Angela Merkel\, and in front of 12\,000 spectators at the Mercedes-Benz Arena Berlin apart from having worked for the state theatre Rostock\, Germany and touring with dance company “haptip hide” by Paula Rosolen.
