NOTE: This event has sadly been postponed due to a new breakout of Covid-19 on the University of Chicago campus. Now catch Spring Forward on May 21st! Registration details forthcoming.

This winter, Rebecca is the Event Coordinator for Spring Forward, part of The University of Chicago’s Winterfest. Winterfest aims to bring students together in collaborative, arts-focused events to fight isolation due to the Chicago winter and Covid-19.

”Under the creative direction of Frank Maugeri, Lecturer in Theater & Performance Studies and celebrated designer of artistic pageants, processions, and celebrations, Spring Forward aims to be a hopeful collaboration between creative teams of students, art faculty, and prominent artists for the design and construction of large-scale masks, culminating in a conditions-appropriate procession and pageant, with music, circus, poetry, dance, song and more, on May Day, the date of ancient festivals of spring.”
