Noche Bohemias | Marimachas | Luna Parties | Special Events | Other
Welcome to the ONE-NIGHT STANDS, page featuring information about the following ongoing and recurring series:
Our wide ranging One Night Stands Calendar was initiated as a response to the enthusiastic demand of our fiel followers who wanted more Luna time than two productions a year. It is also part of our effort to continue building upon our missions basic tenets: expanding the range of opportunities for Latinas on the Chicago stage and beyond. These events are about creating a casual and fun environment where artists outside of the Luna Collective get to play with our audiences. It’s also a place to engage new audiences to a variety of performance and art genres. But deep down its a fancy excuse to have more incredible Luna nights of dancing, chisme, and drinks (!!!).
Quick overview on our most popular One-Night Stands Series:
Noche Bohemia: Beauty By Moonlight
A Performance Salon Featuring the Work Of Artists of Varied Genres: This unique new series is dedicated to featuring the diverse range of Latina Talent (and the talents of other women of color) in Chicago. At these Noche Bohemia events you will see all kinds of talent from the various artistic disciplines ranging from: music, dance, story-telling, burlesque, and poetry to clowning and acrobats—and everything in between. This is the place where Latina artists that we either: a) haven’t been able to work with formally in our productions or education programs but believe the work they are doing is groundbreaking/important/fun/needs support and/or b) artists who are Luna Friends/Company Members, whom we have either worked with before or have long supported our work and strongly believe that their talents need to be shared with our audiences. The Noche Bohemia series is a safe space where these artists can both develop and perform their work/art in front of a live audience, and also receive feedback in a non-formal way.
Each Noche Bohemia event is unique unto itself as it will feature new artists (and sometimes bring back previous features due to popular demand — or if they have some great new work to share!). For now, all upcoming Noche Bohemia events are to take place at Wicker Well, 1637 W. North Avenue, Chicago IL 60618.
