We're so excited for Amanda Maraist's performances on June 18th and 29th as part of the Co-MISSION Festival of New Works!

Amanda Maraist is a movement deviser + improviser from the texas gulf coast, living in Chicago. She co-directs bim bom studios and works collaboratively with movers, musicians and artists; most recently with Irene Hsiao, Helen Lee, Harlan Rosen, Gina Hoch-Stall, Chrissy Martin, Freedom From and Freedom To, Khecari, and Ayako Kato / Art Union Humanscape. Her movement work exists as both dance-making and physical space-making. Using authentic movement practices and meticulously rendered improvisational scores, her work is process-forward with a do-it-together demeanor. She is supported by a 2024 Links Hall Co-MISSIONS Residency, a 2025 residency at the Ragdale Foundation, a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant, and is a Synapse Arts New Works artist for 2025.

Maraist's "FOLK" is the movement of the present that binds us.

A working class anthem, ballad, lullaby..
archival + future-making.

A quilt in progress / a group effort
Unifying in cacophony
Mobilizing, effortful and true.

Four dancers, two musicians and an audience study themselves and each other to identify what's working, what's not, and where we all go from here.
