Towards Tapered Illusions was commissioned as part of New Music / New Dance, a collaborative residency between the Chicago Center for Contemporary Composition at the University of Chicago and DanceWorks Chicago, made possible thanks to the generous support of Gay Stanek.
Towards Tapered Illusions premiered at the Logan Center Performance Penthouse in Chicago, IL, in a one-night-only performance on March 24, 2023.
