Pivot Arts creates original site-specific works, often in the form of a “performance tour” that moves through multiple spaces. Past works include The Memory Tour (2016); Don’t Look Back/Must Look Back (2017); Charged Spaces/Changing Bodies (2018) and our special All Hallows Eve event at the historic Colvin House (2019).
Our May 2021 event, Reimagining Utopia, presented site-specific performances at The Edge Theatre and Colvin House, and was listed as one of the first live events in the City of Chicago to return post-pandemic by the Office of the Mayor.
