{Stripped} the 06/07/05 Chicago performance art show.

• June 7, 2005 Kuypers performed the show {Stripped} live at the Cafe, 5115 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago. This show is of Spring 2005 poetry that is more political, and this show is called “Stripped” because it will not contain the usual background music that is prevalent in Kuypers’ shows, and the images in her projected displays will be more limited than past shows of hers. However, her images are even set up with white space, allowing Kuypers to be at the front of the stage with the show as she reads her new work.
