  • Exploring the Diversity of Gentrification in Three Chicago Cultural Districts - Differences in the Artist Class As First Wave Gentrifiers
    EXPLORING THE DIVERSITY OF GENTRIFICATION IN THREE CHICAGO CULTURAL DISTRICTS - DIFFERENCES IN THE ARTIST CLASS AS FIRST WAVE GENTRIFIERS By Cristina Ramona Benton A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Geography – Doctor of Philosophy 2014 i ABSTRACT EXPLORING THE DIVERSITY OF GENTRIFICATION IN THREE CHICAGO CULTURAL DISTRICTS - DIFFERENCES IN THE ARTIST CLASS AS FIRST WAVE GENTRIFIERS By Cristina Ramona Benton The paper explores the diversity of gentrification that exists in three cultural districts that are the recipients of the public investment in the city of Chicago between the years 1970 and 2000. The research advances a broader analysis of gentrification consistent with the approaches advanced by Rose (1984), Beauregard (1990), Clark (2005), and Podagrosi, Vojnovic, and Pigozzi (2011). A principal components analysis and k-means cluster analysis generated a grouping of 123 census tracts in Chicago experiencing similar upgrading trajectories. A qualitative analysis was conducted on three neighborhoods captured from this one cluster, with all three neighborhoods being nodes of the public investment in the infrastructure of play in Chicago. The three case studies experienced similar trajectories of gentrification, but with considerable internal diversity. The paper suggests that the specific characteristics in the diversity of cultural professionals, and the diversity in their 'artistic-infused' districts, can provide insight into the nature of subsequent gentrifiers. Within this context, the study also explores the role of the public sector in driving gentrification in Chicago’s arts and cultural districts. ii Copyright by CRISTINA RAMONA BENTON 2014 iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................................

  • New City Stage Players 2015-The
    Theater, Dance, Comedy and Performance in Chicago JAN 22 Players 2015: The Fifty People Who Really Perform for Chicago The steady expansion of the performing arts in Chicago continues its marvelous pace, with more and better theater, dance, comedy and opera gracing more and better stages each passing year. The upward progression is so steady that epic undertakings—a new campus at Steppenwolf, a bigger chunk of Navy Pier for Chicago Shakes—seem almost business as usual these days. And that is a marvelous thing. This year we again celebrat the lesser‐sung heroes offstage who deal with the less glamorous things like building those new stages, and paying those expanding payrolls withou which the stars would have nowhere to shine. Tragedy has been central to theater since the ancient Greeks first staged it, but the last year has brought a disproportionate volume of real‐ life tragedy to our community. No doubt, the expanding and maturing performing arts universe means that more members of its community will pass o each year, but the number of those struck down long before their expected hour was overwhelming these last twelve months and struck every corner of performing arts, from theater, to dance, to comedy, to opera. Molly Glynn, Jason Chin, Eric Eatherly, Bernie Yvon, Johan Engels, Julia Neary—and others we’ve unintentionally overlooked—we dim our collective marquee for you. (Brian Hieggelke) Players was written by Zach Freeman and Sharon Hoyer With additional contributions by Brian Hieggelke, Alex Huntsberger, Aaron Hunt, Hugh Iglarsh and Loy Webb All photos by Joe Mazza/Brave‐Lux, taken on location at Steppenwolf Theatre, Goodman Theatre, Lyric Opera of Chicago and Brave‐Lux Stud 1 Andrew Alexander CEO, co‐owner, Second City A few years ago, we lauded Andrew Alexander’s addition of the UP Comedy Club to the Second City realm on Wells Street.
