Chicago-based performance company Every house has a door will be in residence at the Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry January 5 through 25 to develop and present 9 beginnings: Bristol & 9 beginnings: Chicago. This performance engages with the Live Art Archives of The University of Bristol and Arnolfini in the UK, and the Randolph Street Gallery archives at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. 9 beginnings restages the beginnings of nine performances by nine different artists or companies, and reimagines them as a single new composition.
