What is The Monocle Eclectic?

The Monocle Eclectic is a dance company, as I'm sure you'll gather from this site. Check out our mission, and our artists to learn more about the heart and soul of our group. This blog is meant to be an insider look into our goals and performances.

As the company has yet to celebrate its first birthday, one of The Monocle Eclectic's goals is to spread the word.

What is The Monocle Eclectic? We are one of Chicago's hot, new, up and coming contemporary dance companies.

How is The Monocle Eclectic different from other dance companies? Our movement tells a story, maybe not the same story to each audience member, but that is the beauty of art: drawing your own conclusion from one artists view and creation.

How did The Monocle Eclectic earn that name? This dance company creates art and dance, both in live performance and on film, through the lens and vision of its creator (or the monocle); the result of this creation results in a production with multiple facets, characters, and styles of dance (an eclectic collaboration of elements.)

When is The Monocle Eclectic's next performance?
tba! Upcoming September 2010
