The Living Room Series

Life happens in the living room.

In the center of our homes, generations gather, wisdom is shared, and relationships are both built up and torn down. Through The Living Room Series, Ballet 5:8 recreates the cyclical stories that shape lives through meaningful, up-close, and exquisite dancing. Some are playful, and some are tumultuous, but each living room moment shapes the story we carry out into the world.

The Living Room Series is a dance experience designed for an intimate setting. Ballet 5:8 invites patrons to book and reserve special Living Room Series experience packages where artists of the company are brought directly into living rooms with customized, personalized and breathtaking performances complete with live piano music accompaniment and spoken word.

Each individual performance will be curated by Artistic Director Julianna Rubio Slager and choreography will be informed by patrons’ unique life stories in their living rooms. This experience is perfect for house parties, small groups, and intimate gatherings.

The Living Room Series at The Colvin House

At an intimate gathering at Chicago’s Historic Home, The Colvin House, Ballet 5:8 premiered The Living Room Series. Our guests were captivated by the intimate and relatable experience. All of us can see the stories of our family life in The Living Room Series.

I loved the intimate feeling of the performance. Looking around the room, it was clear that a very diverse room all were relating to the show.

The Living Room Series is AWESOME. Genuinely, there are not enough good things to say. It is a brilliant idea and I think it is only appropriate that such intimate portrayals of memories and experiences are done in an intimate setting. It allows you to really connect (and by confronted by) the reality of all that life is - its many joys, sorrows, struggles, and realizations.
