Creating Stories Through Photography 

"There is something about ruins that calls to us to come explore, look closer. There is at once a sense of discovery and a feeling of long ago. A slipstream of hope. In the accumulated debris are the seeds for tomorrow, the roots of reclamation." 
- Photographer Candace Casey

Go behind the scenes into Candace Casey's studio as she explains her technique of laying her photography onto canvas, revealing the layers of the artwork.

Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble's Auditorium will be transformed  each night into the abandoned theater with a lively pre-show gallery of Candace Casey's Photography and Visual Art.
