Environmental Encroachment (E.E.) is a mobile performance art troupe based in Chicago that uses percussion and horns, circus antics, custom costumes, and improvised interactions with audiences to create site-specific spontaneous playgrounds. The music and art are influenced by New Orleans traditions, North African Trance, Caribbean dance, and Burning Man/Future Tribal culture. Formed in 1994, E.E. has performed in nearly innumerable spaces, including art galleries and museums (Chicago’s Field Museum, MCA, Vassar College), festivals (Lollapalooza, Lotus Fest, Rotary International’s Centennial, Houston Art Car Parade), puppetry gatherings, weddings, funerals, and every HONK!Fest (Somerville, Providence, NYC, Seattle, Austin).
