In the Wurkz is a touring dance project based on the lives and dreams of dancers on the west and south sides of Chicago. This evening-length show unveils a history of footwork dancing, tracing its development from “the holy ghost”– the first footwork dance move inspired by the motion of ghosts and spirit possession in church – to a citywide, black teenage dance culture that keeps kids safe in dangerous neighborhoods across Chicago. In the Wurkz expounds on this dance history through the movements, films, and poetry of The Era Footwork Crew.
Estimated Artist Fee: $20,000-$22,000/performance; $35,000-$40,000/week.
Jamal Oliver and Brandon Calhoun, Co-Managers
