Halcyon Theatre announces the January Lineup of THE CEYX SERIES

CHICAGO, IL (January 1, 2012) Halcyon Theatre announces the January Lineup of THE CEYX SERIES, presented at the Greenhouse Theatre Center, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave., January 9, at 7:30 p.m. or at livestream.com/halcyontheatre

January’s Lineup will include the following (pics and bios here)

• Original songs by Sadie Rogers   
• A multi-disciplinary -- spoken word performance art piece by Milta Ortiz Pinate
• Omar Robles and Ellyzabeth Adler, Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble guest Artistic Director and CDE’s founder and Executive Director, will be performing each a solo dance piece around the topic of touch.
• Kevin Gladish will be telling you a story that is true.
• Gertrude Little loves to dance but has a little problem.  She doesn't know how to keep up with the music. A clown piece with Kira Silverstein.
• Diego Sol and the Metronomes, scintillating you with their sound.

Jennifer Adams, curator for the series, says “The hope is to have as many different kinds of acts as possible, hopefully representing different genres, parts of the world, points of view, etc. The possibilities of what people would like to contribute are endless- Music, Stand-Up, Dance, Spoken Word, Performance Art, Theatre (monologue, one-act, whatever)...

The night will be set up like an old Vaudeville night or Variety Show. The flow of the evening will change each month, depending on the final lineup. The idea is just getting different awesome people together, so for example a flamenco dancer might be followed by a spoken word artist and then a bluegrass singer. Content possibilities are wide open, we'd usually rather have folks do what they're most passionate about than what we think they should do.”

Performances are normally the first Monday of every month; however, due to the New Years holiday, the Janurary '12 Ceyx Series will be on January 9th. Curtain is at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are pay-what-you-can, with a suggested donation of $10, and are available through the Greenhouse Theater box office at greenhousetheater.org or at 773.404.7336.

Members of the media are invited to attend any performance.

About Halcyon:
Mission- We are fiercely committed to making the stage as diverse as the city of Chicago; presenting new voices from inadequately represented communities, as well as recasting classic works to showcase their contemporary relevance.

About- Halcyon Theatre was formed to connect people, transform our borders and ascend towards a more just union. We strive to make incredible theatre from stories around the world, to help show our world in new ways, and rediscover the individual beauty of people from our global community.

Our artistic philosophy is driven by our continuing belief that at every point of human history where there has been an explosion of artistic creativity, it has happened when different cultures and traditions have intersected and informed each other.  If every artist working with an organization looks and thinks the same, it is difficult for them to grow. A homogeneous group produces homogeneous art. Striving for artistic excellence with artists of varied cultural backgrounds and training is at the forefront of everything we do.
