The One Hour Project is an exercise in collaboration and concision, inviting Chicago dance and video creators to create a micro-length, site-specific dance film in just 60 minutes.
#the1hourproject is an effort to help facilitate introductions amongst Chicago’s dance and film artists while serving as a platform to promote new digital dance works, foster learning through experimentation and play, and highlight interesting spaces within the city of Chicago.

It is the most amazing gift to watch these dancers on stage. Even more precious is the endless hours they spend in the studio to get to this moment and I am so thankful to be part of their journey. Proud is an understatement. Thank you @rise_dancecenter and congratulations to everyone on a wonderful year 🎉
