Protected by Invisible Fence is a work in development by Ginger Krebs as a part of her 2024-2025 Dance Studio Residency at the Chicago Cultural Center. The work will be presented at MCA Chicago in 2026. Krebs began as an artist by making sculptures, but an interest in networks and relationship dynamics led her to want to enact systems through movement – and so she’s been making dances since 2005. Her dance draws from vernacular movement that non-dancers can relate to. Its physicality and self-effacing humor celebrate Midwestern working-class virtues. Often the movement is inherently funny without having an obvious joke to “get.” Ginger’s performances are preoccupied with power, and haunted by the ways power hides behind the mirages of capitalist ideology while enforcing visibility on other bodies. Roman Susan acts as a fiscal sponsor for this Residency.
