Chance Magazine: Issue 4: Unbound

Chance is a photography magazine and serialized art book that looks at the world through the lens of theater and design. A calm, noise-free place to engage with the aesthetics of design in detail, Chance integrates all of the arts, material and non-material, into a single space where the poetry of human thought can expand our desire for a more provocative and lifted engagement with design. The team at Chance produces an original photo shoot of nearly every production they cover, and believe that a more thorough glimpse into the world of design can change the way people think and write about the theater and the artists who create for it. Started in 2012 by a group of designers, writers and artists, Chance is more than a magazine. As a thoroughly stylized and high-quality publication, Chance is an immersive, image-rich, serialized art-book on contemporary events in performance and design that comprehensively redefines the relationship between theater and print. In Issue 4: Unbound, new spaces mean new ideas, and the reactivation of theatre as a literary contact sport. Chance 4 includes Kathryn Hamilton’s Sister Sylvester; the Comedie-Francaise and Virginie Gervaise; The Chekhov Project at Lake Lucille; Rita Ryack’s Casa Valentina; Tim Etchells’ and Hugo Glendinning’s Empty Stages; James Thompson’s work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Sandrine Philippe’s stage-ready couture; design legend Eugene Lee’s library; the Toneelgroep’s scenographer Jan Versweyveld and video designer Tal Yarden; Hugh Hardy’s new buildings for LCT3 and TFANA; Kristen Robinson’s broken space for Nora; and Jeff Hinchee’s paper theatre kit.
