Collaborators Mya McClellan and Tyler Wagner present a dynamic, improvised duet. Taking place in two parts, Blood and Marrow lays bare the body’s capacity to persist and endure.

About the Artists:

Mya McClellan is a Chicago-based artist with a BFA in Dance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is currently a company member with Ohio-based Abby Z and the New Utility, Chicago-based House of DOV, and is the curator of Jello Performance Series. She thrives in improvisation, both as a performer and creator, structuring much of her work around it and often performing in improvisation-based productions.

Tyler Wagner is an improvising bassist and electronics artist working in Chicago, IL. In high demand across multiple scenes as a collaborator, Tyler supports some of the city’s finest songwriting vocalists (Maria Elena Silva, Aliyah Jones, Wyatt Waddell, Evann McIntosh), plays as 1/5th of collective improvising group Banana Acid, and works in inventive ongoing duo collaborations with improvisors Sarah Clausen (Special Effect), Erez Dessel, and filmmaker / projection artist Ruby Que. Tyler’s solo work has seen rising trajectory over the past year in Chicago art spaces, with a solo bass record well on its way.
