SUMMARY:Chicago Ideas Week 2019 - Designing the Impossible with Illusionist Jeanette Andrews
DESCRIPTION:Chicago Ideas returns to Catalyst Ranch this October with TWO thought-provoking events on October 12. At 2:30pm\, attend their Lab for Chicago Ideas Week 2019 – Designing the Impossible with Illusionist Jeanette Andrews. \nChicago Ideas Week 2019 – Designing the Impossible with Illusionist Jeanette Andrews\n \nThis interactive and educational workshop delves into the intricate designs behind the process of illusionist Jeanette Andrews. In an exploration of the mysteries of the human senses\, Andrews will perform a few of her pieces\, then extrapolate with the audience on her unique creative process\, outlining what goes into designing the seemingly impossible. Participants will learn how psychology\, object making\, writing\, and the choreography of viewer experience are fused into “impossible” designs in Andrews’ work. \nMust be 12 or older. Anyone 12 to 17 must be accompanied by a ticketed parent or guardian who is 18 or older with a valid ID. \nMake it a day at Catalyst Ranch by attending this event AND the earlier 11am Lab for Chicago Ideas Week 2019 – Inclusion: the Key to a Successful Business. \n  \n \nChicago Ideas is a movement built on one core belief: When a broad spectrum of thinkers and instigators share ideas\, we have the power to transform our world.\nChicago Ideas Week\, October 12-17\, 2019\, is a seven-day festival featuring over 200 global thought leaders and innovators speaking on a variety of topics ranging from leadership and life’s lessons\, to science and technology\, to the most pressing issues of the day and the most creative insights in entertainment. We offer more than 150 engaging programs each Chicago Ideas Week to stimulate\, inspire and enlighten participants while providing the opportunity for attendees to think\, dream and connect. The best part? Most tickets are only $15\, ensuring that anyone who wants access to great ideas can have it. \nChicago Ideas Week Labs offer opportunities for participants to experience and explore the best of Chicago like never before.\nExclusive\, behind-the-scenes experiences give participants a unique glimpse into the inner workings of businesses and institutions that are otherwise unavailable to the public. \nSmall groups will explore what it’s like for business leaders in the boardroom\, go behind the curtain at leading theaters and venues\, and discover “how-it-works” in hands-on workshops. \nLabs sell out quickly\, so become a member to enjoy early access to Labs tickets. \n
