Ivan Ramos, known artistically as iRiSe, has dedicated the last twenty years to teaching, writing, and performing poetry.
iRiSe has performed and collaborated with a diverse range of Chicago's talent—including musicians, producers, D.J.'s, and fellow poets. This collaborative spirit has allowed him to add his poetic voice into the rich tapestry of Chicago’s musical and spoken word landscape.
Ivan's artistic work is the driving force behind his advocacy for all people. His poetry is not just performance; it is a catalyst for dialogue and understanding, fueling his dedication to social justice, equity, and empowerment for all indigenous and marginalized communities.

Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre (CRDT) was born to explore and celebrate the complexities of American identity at the intersections of culture heritage & identity. CRDT is led by Artistic Director Wilfredo Rivera, a Honduran native whose unique life and artistic experiences shape the company's ethos. Cerqua Rivera artists are fearless storytellers who help people understand and engage with themselves and the world around them. With a focus on the development of high quality art, each piece the company makes centers around a specific experience. The company engages in research and radical collaboration to convey narratives through a diverse group of artists. Cerqua Rivera also builds bridges with its community through local and national touring, workshops, interactive previews of work in progress, and full concerts. See Chicago Dance says the company “possesses a blended magic that is difficult to come by” and “creates a deeper sense of community and intimacy.” New City Stage raves that Cerqua Rivera "speaks straight to the heart, feeding a hunger [you] may not even realize.” For schedule & more info. www.cerquarivera.org
