Brendan Fernandes animates a century-old Chicago auditorium through dance

Brendan Fernandes, a Chicago-based visual and performing artist, has created an evolving dance work titled *Score for the Murphy Auditorium* as part of his nearly year-long exhibition *In the Round* at the Driehaus Museum's newly acquired Murphy Auditorium. The piece features seven dancers moving around a 12-sided mirrored bench, with choreography inspired by the 1960s Judson Dance Theater, and includes textile works from the Fabric Workshop and Museum and a sound installation by Alex Inglizian. The auditorium, built in 1926 and designated a Chicago landmark in 2024, underwent renovation after being acquired by the Driehaus Museum in 2022.
