Second City And Hubbard Street Collaboration The Art Of Falling Returns

 Second City and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago first joined forces in October 2014 for the collaborative performance The Art of Falling, in which the comedians became dancers and the dancers became comedians. The visually stunning, seemingly effortless, and often hilarious show ran for only four days, but it was so well received that it hit the road for an LA run in November 2015. Now The Art of Falling is back in Chicago at the Harris Theater for a longer engagement. 

  “I get to watch and listen and see how the comedians are always riffing off each other and coming up with new stuff,” Tong says. “If we do a scene three or four times in a row, every time it’s done differently. It’s such a treasure trove of ideas that they come up with. I like sitting and watching and giggling to myself.”
