A NOTE FROM
JENNIFER TURNER
President & CEO
Welcome to Tennessee Performing Arts Center and the start of our 45th Anniversary Season. We are thrilled to open this milestone year with The Wiz. It’s a timeless classic that invites us to dream big, find our place in the world, and celebrate the connections that make us stronger together, just as the arts have done for us here in our community.
For 45 years, TPAC has been more than a stage. It truly is where the arts and community live. TPAC has been a place where voices are uplifted, where generations of students discover the magic of live performance, and where our community comes together to share experiences that entertain and inspire. None of this would be possible without you.
This anniversary season is both a celebration of our legacy and a bold step into the future. Our lineup of Broadway, dance, theatre, and education programs reflects our commitment to presenting world-class artistry while creating pathways for all to engage in the transformative power of the performing arts.
Thank you for joining us at the beginning of this landmark year. Together, we’ll continue to build on TPAC’s story and ensure the arts remain at the center of our community for generations to come.
Enjoy the show!
Warm regards,
Jennifer Turner President & CEO

A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Flamenco is raw emotion through movement and sound, given form by the pulse of the guitar strings, the wail of a voice, and the rhythm of the dance. The sounds of Sephardic, Gypsy, and Arab traditions are entwined in the history of Spain. Flamenco is a vehicle to express the wide range of emotions inherent in the human experience, from joy to pain, from love to loss, and everything in between. Every night is different because every day is different. That is the freedom flamenco gives us, and it is what we hope to share with you here tonight.
— Leah Keith

ABOUT HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO
The Mission of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is to awaken the human spirit through contemporary dance, envisioning a dance landscape that is relevant and accessible to all. We fulfill our mission by nurturing diverse voices in contemporary dance, opening new pathways to growth, learning, and discovery in Chicago and throughout the word. We are guided by our Values of Artistry, Belonging, and Curiosity.
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago grew out of the Lou Conte Dance Studio at LaSalle and Hubbard Streets in 1977, when Lou Conte gathered an ensemble of four dancers to perform in senior centers across Chicago. Barbara G. Cohen soon joined the company as its first executive director. Conte continued to direct the company for 23 years, during which he initiated and grew relationships with both emerging and established artists including Nacho Duato, Daniel Ezralow, Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, Lynne Taylor-Corbett and Twyla Tharp.
Conte’s successor Jim Vincent widened Hubbard Street’s international focus, began Hubbard Street’s collaboration with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and cultivated growth from within, launching the Inside/Out Choreographic Workshop and inviting resident choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo to make his first work. Gail Kalver’s 23 years of executive leadership provided continuity from 1984 through the 2006–07 season, when executive director Jason Palmquist joined the organization. Glenn Edgerton became artistic director in 2009 and, together with Palmquist, moved this legacy forward on multiple fronts.
In 2021, former company dancer Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell was named the fourth artistic director of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Season 44: RE/CHARGE marked her debut season as the artistic leader of the organization, with the goal of continuing to diversify the company’s repertoire and ensemble while building on the incredible legacy and reputation that HSDC has already established. Along with David McDermott, executive director since 2017, the company is looking forward to expanding its audience reach and increasing the local, national, and global reputation of Hubbard Street

Hubbard Street’s ever-evolving repertory, created by today’s leading choreographic voices, makes them a company that dancers aspire to join and performance venues all over the world are eager to host. To date, the main company has performed globally in 19 countries and 44 U.S. states.

Under her visionary leadership, Hubbard Street has experienced a revival, returning to pre-pandemic vibrancy with sleek, memorable programming and a renewed era of artistic excellence. Her impact has been recognized in The New York Times (“At Hubbard Street: Making a Place for ‘the Other Folks’”) and on the cover of Dance Magazine (August 2023, “Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is Returning to Stability—And Its Roots”). Born in Baltimore, MD, Fisher-Harrell trained at the Baltimore School for the Arts with Sylvester Campbell and Stephanie Powell, apprenticed with the Capitol Ballet under Doris Jones, and studied on full fellowship at The Ailey School before attending The Juilliard School. She began her professional career with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago at the invitation of founder Lou Conte. She performed with the company for three years before becoming a principal dancer with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, under the legendary Judith Jamison. During her 13-year tenure with Ailey, FisherHarrell toured globally and was featured in works by Alvin Ailey, John Butler, Ronald K. Brown, Ulysses Dove, Rennie Harris, Judith Jamison, Alonzo King, Lar Lubovitch, Donald McKayle, Elisa Monte, and Dwight Rhoden. Career highlights include guest artist performances at Les Étoiles du 21e Siècle in
Paris and Toronto, World Stars of the Opera in Budapest, and special appearances at the White House State Dinner in honor of the President of Kenya and the Kennedy Center’s 12th Annual Gala alongside Nancy Wilson and Liza Minnelli. As an educator and leader, Fisher-Harrell has had a profound impact in her hometown of Baltimore. A professor of dance at Towson University since 2005, she also served on the faculty of the Baltimore School for the Arts, served as director, founder, and principal grant writer for AileyCamp Baltimore at Towson University, and facilitated nine Ailey II residencies at Towson University.

Her pedagogy is dual focused, the Lester Horton Technique and an ABT® Certified Ballet Teacher; she remains a sought-after instructor for universities, companies, and organizations nationwide. Her scholarship includes the entry “Alvin Ailey” in the Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism.

He continued to build Hubbard Street’s repertoire by forging a key relationship with Twyla Tharp in the 1990s, acquiring seven of her works as well as original choreography. It then became an international enterprise with the inclusion of works by Jiří Kylián, Nacho Duato and Ohad Naharin. Throughout his 23 years as the company’s artistic director, he received numerous awards including the first Ruth Page Artistic Achievements Award in 1986, the Sidney R. Yates Arts Advocacy Award in 1995, and a Chicagoan of the Year award from Chicago magazine in 1999. In 2003, he was inducted as a laureate into the Lincoln Academy of Illinois, the state’s highest honor, and in 2014, was named one of five inaugural recipients of the city of Chicago’s Fifth Star Award.

Abraham recently premiered a solo work for American Ballet Theater principle, Misty Copeland in October 2019.
ASZURE BARTON (Choreographer) is a prolific creator whose dance work has been equated to “watching the physical unfurling of the human psyche” by the U.S. National Endowment for the Arts. She started tap dancing at the age of three and has been creating for as long as she can remember. Her works have been performed on stages throughout the world, including the Palais Garnier, Mariinsky Theater, The Kennedy Center, Studio 54, Lincoln Center, and Sadler’s Wells, as well as in museums and exhibits, such as the Smithsonian in Washington, DC.
She has choreographed for theatre, film, and opera, including Broadway, notably for the production of The Threepenny Opera. Early in her career, she founded her own project, Aszure Barton & Artists, in order to create an autonomous, interdisciplinary, and collaborative platform for process-centered creation. Aszure has worked with celebrated artists and companies including Mikhail Baryshnikov, Jessica Chastaine, Misty Copeland, Alan Cumming, Cyndi Lauper, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Nederlands Dans Theater, Teatro alla Scala, American Ballet Theatre, Sydney Dance Company, English National Ballet, National Ballet of Canada, Grand Théâtre de Genève, Cuba’s Malpaso Dance Company, and Martha Graham Dance Company, among others. Last year, she premiered a new work (Mere Mortals) at San Francisco Ballet in collaboration with British electronic music producer/DJ Floating Points and mixed media artists Hamill Industries — the first evening-length work created by a woman in SFB’s history, curated by artistic director Tamara Rojo. Aszure is also delighted to be the current resident artist at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Her latest artistic venture is a collaboration with acclaimed trumpeter and composer Ambrose Akinmusire; the two premiered their first work titled B E N D at Kampnagel’s International Summer Festival and plan to tour it internationally over the next few years with the partnership of Pomegranate Arts. Tanz Magazine’s Falk Schraiber described its “refusal of categorization” and called it “a collaborative work that also draws its appeal from the fact that two artists who are completely secure in their field playfully unsettle each other.” They also created a fullevening collaboration, Slow Burn, at Hamburg Ballett and will premiere a new collaboration (Join) with the Limón Dance Company later this month. Aszure Barton continues to be an innovator of form, having contributed to an evolution of highly specialized dance and theatre companies worldwide. Over the years, she has received a myriad of accolades including a Bessie Award for her work Busk. She was the first Martha Duffy resident artist at Baryshnikov Arts and is a recipient of the prestigious Arts & Letters Award, joining the likes of Oscar Peterson, Karen Kain, and Margaret Atwood. She is also an official ambassador of contemporary choreography in Canada. As an educator, Aszure is creative partner with Boston Conservatory at Berklee College and has built a longtime working relationship with The Juilliard School.
BOB FOSSE (Choreographer) is one of the most internationally-recognized figures in the history of the performing arts for his groundbreaking, genre-defining work as a director, choreographer, performer, and writer across various mediums on both stage and screen. In 1973, he became the first director in history to win the Oscar, Tony, and Emmy awards in a single year for his spectacular triumphs with Cabaret on film, Pippin on Broadway, and “Liza with a Z” on television. Though he got his start as a performer, Mr. Fosse’s career as a creative force on Broadway began in 1954 when he served as
choreographer for the original Broadway production of The Pajama Game, earning him the first of his nine Tony Awards. He went on to choreograph Damn Yankees, Bells Are Ringing, New Girl In Town, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and direct and choreograph Redhead, Little Me, Sweet Charity (which he also conceived), Pippin, Liza, Chicago (for which he also co-wrote the book), Dancin’, Big Deal (for which he also wrote the book), and the 1986 revival of Sweet Charity. On film, he served as director and choreographer for Sweet Charity, Cabaret, All That Jazz (also co-screenwriter), and Star 80 (also co-screenwriter), earning him an Academy Award and two additional nominations for Best Director, as well as a nomination for Best Original Screenplay. All That Jazz also won the Palme d’Or at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival. His additional film credits include choreography for The Pajama Game, Damn Yankees, and The Little Prince Born in Chicago, Mr. Fosse began dancing at age nine and made his first professional appearance at thirteen with his childhood friend Charles Grass under the name “The Riff Brothers.” After serving with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific Islands during World War II, he reignited his career as a dancer, performing alongside Mary Ann Niles in Call Me Mister, Make Mine Manhattan, and Dance Me a Song. He also appeared in the MGM films Give a Girl a Break; The Affairs of Dobie Gillis; and Kiss Me, Kate. His last performing engagements were with New York City Center, dancing the title role in their revival of Pal Joey and dancing the role of The Serpent in The Little Prince on screen. Bob Fosse passed away in 1987, on the opening night of the national tour of Sweet Charity. Mr. Fosse’s work constantly finds new life in productions like the long running Broadway revival of Chicago (1996), Fosse (1999), and the Broadway revival of Dancin’ (2023), as well as in the Emmy Award-winning FX series “Fosse/Verdon” (2019), and the trio of dances Sweet Gwen Suite (2021). The Verdon Fosse Legacy®, founded by his daughter, Nicole Fosse, ensures Mr. Fosse’s enduring legacy will continue to help shape the entertainment landscape for years to come.
GWEN VERDON (Choreographer) is “widely regarded as the best dancer ever to brighten the Broadway Stage” (The New York Times). Her early career was marked by her close working relationship with Jack Cole, for whom she worked as both a performer and assistant choreographer. Her most enduring professional partnership, however, was with the man she would marry, Bob Fosse. Together, Ms. Verdon and Mr. Fosse ran up a string of iconic theatrical successes not rivaled by a director/choreographer and star before or since. After she earned her first of four Tony Awards in her breakout role as Claudine in Can-Can, her collaboration with Mr. Fosse began. She starred in Damn Yankees (Tony Award), New Girl in Town (Tony Award), Redhead (Tony Award), Sweet Charity (Tony nomination) and Chicago (Tony nomination). Her work in feature films includes roles in On the Riviera, David & Bathsheba, Mississippi Gambler, Damn
Yankees, Cocoon, Cocoon: The Return, The Cotton Club, Nadine, Marvin’s Room, Alice, Bruno, and Walking Across Egypt. Early in her career, she helped stage Marilyn Monroe’s performance of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. She served as artistic advisor for Steam Heat, the Emmy Award-winning documentary about Mr. Fosse. She also appeared on the television programs “Mash,” “Fame,” “Trapper John, M.D.,” “Webster,” “Magnum, P.I.,” “The Equalizer,” “Dream On,” “Dear John,” “Homicide,” and “Legs.” Her work in the concert dance world spanned decades and continents, including Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, the Beijing Ballet School in China, the Houston Ballet Company, and the Paul Taylor Dance Company. Counted among the hundreds of partners with whom she danced throughout the course of her career were Mikhail Baryshnikov and Rudolph Nureyev. Among her many accolades, Ms. Verdon won a Grammy Award for Redhead and received a National Endowment for the Arts & Humanities Award.
OHAD NAHARIN (Choreographer) is a choreographer, the House Choreographer of Batsheva Dance Company, and creator of the Gaga movement language. Born in 1952 in Mizra, Israel, he joined Batsheva Dance Company in 1974 despite having little training. During his first year, guest choreographer Martha Graham invited him to join her own company in New York, where Naharin later made his choreographic debut at the Kazuko Hirabayshi studio in 1980. For the next decade he presented works in New York and abroad, including pieces for Batsheva Dance Company, the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company, and Nederlands Dans Theater. Naharin worked closely with his first wife, Mari Kajiwara, until she died from cancer in 2001. In 1990, Naharin was appointed artistic director of Batsheva Dance Company, and in the same year, he established the company’s junior division, Batsheva – the Young Ensemble. He has since created over thirty works for both companies and set pieces on many others. He has also collaborated with musicians including The Tractor’s Revenge, Avi Balleli and Dan Makov, Ivri Lider, and Grischa Lichtenberger. Under the pseudonym Maxim Waratt, he composed, edited, and mixed many of his own soundtracks. Naharin’s work has been featured in several films, including Tomer Heymann’s Out of Focus (2007) and the Heymann Brothers’ Mr. Gaga (2015). In addition to his stage work, Naharin also developed GAGA, the innovative movement research and daily training of Batsheva’s dancers that has spread internationally among both dancers and non-dancers. A citizen of both Israel and the United States, Naharin currently lives in Israel with his wife, dancer and costume designer Eri Nakamura, and their daughter, Noga.
