About

Same Planet Performance Project (SPPP) abstracts the shared human experience centering on individuals and narratives within global dynamics through athletic and sensuously constructed dances that transform performers and audiences on a visceral emotional level.

Directed by Joanna Read, Same Planet Performance Project is one of Chicago’s most inventive contemporary dance companies.

The company has performed at prestigious venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Dance Center of Columbia College, The Auditorium Theatre, and Joyce Soho. Engaging aspiring artists is foundational to the company’s work, especially at the collegiate level. Past exchanges have been at the University of Minnesota, The University of Iowa, The University of Illinois, and Illinois State University. Same Planet is available for touring, college residencies and master classes. SPPP is in residency at Chicago’s  Dovetail Studios.rStudios.
