A letter from Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director To those of you who are fans of The Second City, or are otherwise joining us for the first time: Welcome to Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. As our subscribers can tell you, The Art of Falling is like nothing you have seen before, and, in that sense, it reflects everything that we do here at Hubbard Street. Since 1977, our company has exclusively presented masterworks and new choreography by living artists. The spirit of reinvention is in our DNA. What you will see onstage, however, represents just one way Hubbard Street brings people together. Our broader mission — to change lives through dance — is expressed in many ways, from offering our field-leading Education Programs to students in local classrooms, every single day Chicago Public Schools are in session, to providing classes to people with Parkinson’s, and to children on the autism spectrum. Meanwhile, The Art of Falling epitomizes two more objectives central to our mission: artistic collaboration and creation.

Throughout the last decade, our dance partners have included the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and Alonzo King LINES Ballet, and we just launched an exciting joint venture with the University of Southern California’s Glorya Kaufman School of Dance. We are thrilled that The Second City shares with us this sense of adventure, and that is what has made this particular collaboration so inspiring. In 2014, we gathered five choreographers, three writers, six actors and two dozen dancers — all of whom pushed beyond their comfort zones, to grow as artists and as people. The result, which you are here to see, was so delightful and so touching that audiences have asked for its encore ever since. As an added benefit, our collaborators at The Second City now feel like part of the Hubbard Street family. Partnering with them has reaffirmed for all of us the importance of taking artistic risks, ensuring our work remains infused with new ideas and perspectives, and keeping us looking to the future.

In November we kick off Season 39 at Hubbard Street, with new works by Resident Choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo — his 15th for us — and by the Harris Theater’s inaugural Resident Artist, Brian Brooks. Next March, Hubbard Street’s fourth program devoted to the creative range of a single artist celebrates global choreographer Nacho Duato. In May, our Chicago Series spotlights Chicago’s own world-class dancemakers and, one very busy year from now, our 40th anniversary celebration begins, with an evening of audience favorites spanning four decades of excellence in contemporary dance. Flip over this program book to learn more, on the back cover. I hope you will join us.

Now sit back, and enjoy the beauty when laughter meets dance.

Warmly,

Glenn Edgerton Artistic Director Hubbard Street Dance Chicago Above: Hubbard Street Artistic Director Glenn Edgerton.

Resident director, creative director and artistic consultant at The Second City in Chicago, his dark comedies have been staged at venues throughout the country, including the La Jolla Playhouse, the Alliance Theater in Atlanta and Washington D.C.’s Woolly Mammoth Theatre. His recent work with the Lyric Opera of Chicago won him a Joseph Jefferson Award and, as a musician, he has performed worldwide, at Lollapalooza, and by request at the inauguration of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. He has had the honor of directing and performing in a diverse assortment of projects, with today’s top entertainers from a wide variety of disciplines, among them Fred Armisen, Phish, Aubrey Plaza, Renée Fleming, Sir Patrick Stewart and Jeff Tweedy. He is very proud of the cast and crew of The Art of Falling, and of this show they’ve made together.

Julie B. Nichols (Music Director, Sound Design, Original Composition) is an alumna of The Second City Mainstage. Her credits include Let Them Eat Chaos, Spoiler Alert: Everybody Dies and the Jeff Award–nominated South Side of Heaven. Prior to life on the Mainstage, Julie was the Associate Musical Director for Boom Chicago in Amsterdam. Nichols is currently developing new works at the University of Chicago, composing for commercials, and learning about redwoods.

Carisa Barreca (Writer) is overjoyed to be returning to the Harris Theater for the encore engagement of Hubbard Street + The Second City’s collaboration, The Art of Falling.

Barreca is an alumna of The Second City’s e.t.c. stage, where she performed in three resident stage revues. She was also honored to work with The Second City at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, with Sir Patrick Stewart and Renée Fleming in The Second City Guide to the Opera. She was recently awarded Best Actress at The Midwest Independent Film Festival, for her work on the web series she also co-created, Doomsdate, online at doomsdateseries.com. She sends her sincere thanks for this opportunity to Billy Bungeroth, The Second City, the producers and amazing cast members of The Art of Falling, the e.t.c. stage, her friends, family and Kevin. You can follow Barreca’s infrequent and candy-fueled posts on Twitter @cinderisa.

Alejandro Cerrudo (Choreographer) was born in Madrid, Spain and trained at the Real Conservatorio Profesional de Danza de Madrid. His professional career began in 1998 and includes work with Victor Ullate Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet, and Nederlands Dans Theater 2. Cerrudo joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in 2005, was named Choreographic Fellow in 2008, and became the company’s first Resident Choreographer in 2009. Fourteen works choreographed to date for Hubbard Street include collaborations with The Second City, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Nederlands Dans Theater. These pieces and additional commissions are in repertory at companies around the U.S. as well as in Australia, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands; touring engagements have brought his work still further abroad, to audiences in Algeria, Canada, Morocco, and Spain. In March 2012, Pacific Northwest Ballet invited Cerrudo to choreograph his first work for the company, Memory Glow, upon receiving the Joyce Theater Foundation’s second Rudolf Nureyev Prize for New Dance. Additional honors include an award from the Boomerang Fund for Artists (2011), and a Prince Prize for Commissioning Original Work from the Prince Charitable Trusts (2012) for his acclaimed, first evening-length work, One Thousand Pieces. In March 2016, Switzerland’s Ballett Basel premiered his second evening-length work, Sleeping Beauty, at Theater Basel. Cerrudo was one of four choreographers invited by New York City Ballet principal Wendy Whelan to create and perform original duets for “Restless Creature,” and he is United States Artists’ 2014 USA Donnelley Fellow.

Lucas Crandall (Choreographer and Rehearsal Director) began his dance career with the Milwaukee Ballet in 1979. In 1980, he joined the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, then directed by Oscar Aráiz. Under the direction of Jiří Kylián, he danced with Nederlands Dans Theater for two years before returning to Geneva, as soloist and later rehearsal assistant, under the direction of Gradimir Pankov. Crandall has performed and originated roles in works by notable choreographers including Aráiz, Kylián, Christopher Bruce, Nacho Duato, Mats Ek, Rui Horta, Amanda Miller and Ohad Naharin. In 2000, Crandall returned to the U.S. to join Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, as Associate Artistic Director and staff at the Lou Conte Dance Studio. His teaching and coaching career includes residencies at various U.S. universities; master classes and repertory workshops, both domestically and abroad; and guest positions at companies including Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, Northwest Professional Dance Project, and the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève. Crandall’s choreographic work includes multiple premieres for Hubbard Street (Atelier, Gimme, Imprint, The Set) and new works for Northwest Dance Project and Thodos Dance Chicago.

Crandall was recently rehearsal director for Nederlands Dans Theater’s main company for three years, under the directorships of Paul Lightfoot and former Hubbard Street Artistic Director Jim Vincent. Crandall returned to Hubbard Street as Rehearsal Director in April 2013.

Jonathan Fredrickson (Choreographer) studied ballet at the Munro Ballet Studios, home to Corpus Christi Ballet, under teachers Kay Boone and Cristina Munro. He received his BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography from California Institute of the Arts in 2006. Immediately thereafter, he joined the Limón Dance Company, performing lead roles and creating two original works. He is a former awardee of Hubbard Street’s International Commissioning Project and was named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” in 2011 for his choreography. Following four seasons as a company member and choreographer at Hubbard Street, Fredrickson joined Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch in August 2015.

T.J. Jagodowski (Writer) Jagodowski’s mother has been a parochial school teacher for 25 years. She went to work shaping young minds after shaping the minds of three of her own. She ran the household, ran her boys to innumerable practices and games, and ran the snakes out of Western Mass. Jagodowski’s father has been a plumber for more than 40 years. During that time, there has not been a single day in which his hands were not stained with dirt from someone’s basement, grease from a coupling pipe, or the salt of a summer sweat. These people toiled, and still do, while for 20 years their eldest son has made make-believe in Chicago. He is thrilled to have made even more make-believe with Hubbard Street, and gives his sincere thanks to Beth, his brothers Troy and Todd, Billy Bungeroth, David Pasquesi, Nana and Papa, the Boston Red Sox and his aforementioned parents, without whom he would’ve had to work for his living.

Kate James (Writer) has been writing, performing and teaching with various divisions of The Second City for the past nine years, and is thrilled to be collaborating with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. In 2013 she co-wrote The Second City Guide to the Opera with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, starring Renée Fleming and Sir Patrick Stewart. James is a founding member of the sketch comedy group Schadenfreude, with whom she enjoyed a two-year stint on Chicago Public Radio, and was nominated for a Chicago Emmy Award. Her offstage credits include Playing House (USA Network), Shameless (Showtime) and a viral video in which she played a very drunk Cubs fan. She would like to thank Steve, the best dancer she knows.

About Hubbard Street Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s core purpose is to bring artists, art and audiences together to enrich, engage, educate, transform and change lives through the experience of dance. Celebrating its 38th season in 2015–16, Hubbard Street continues to be an innovative force, supporting its creative talent while presenting repertory by major international artists.

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. Inside/Out is now part of a broader strategy for building new repertoire, the Choreographic Development Initiative, which aims to be a national model for artistic development while proactively diversifying contemporary dance.

Partnerships with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and other institutions keep Hubbard Street deeply connected to its hometown. To the company’s repertoire, Edgerton has extended relationships with its signature choreographers while adding significant new voices such as Kyle Abraham, Mats Ek, Sharon Eyal, Alonzo King, Crystal Pite, and Victor Quijada.

Spring Series 2016

The main company’s members comprise one of the only ensembles in the U.S. to perform all year long, domestically and around the world, while four nationally renowned Summer Intensive Programs bring young artists into its ranks. Hubbard Street 2, its second company for early-career artists, was founded in 1997 by Conte and Julie Nakagawa. Now directed by Terence Marling, HS2 cultivates young professional dancers, identifies next-generation choreographers, and performs domestically and abroad in service of arts education, collaboration, experimentation and audience development.

Hubbard Street’s Youth, Education and Community Programs are national benchmarks for partnership, dance education and urban school research. In 2008, the Parkinson’s Project became the first dance class in the Midwest for those affected by Parkinson’s disease and, with The Autism Project pilot in 2014, it’s now part of Hubbard Street’s growing Adaptive Dance Programs. Youth Dance Programs for students ages 18 months to 18 years emphasize creative expression and are offered year-round at the Hubbard Street Dance Center.

At the Lou Conte Dance Studio — where Hubbard Street began in 1974 — workshops and master classes allow access to expertise, while a broad variety of weekly classes offer training at all levels in jazz, ballet, modern, tap, African, hip-hop, yoga, Pilates® and dance fitness.

HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO Kathryn Humphreys (Director of Education, Youth and Community Programs) joined Hubbard Street in 2002.

She develops and implements dance-education initiatives designed to improve teacher and teaching-artist practice and collaboration, to effect whole-school change and further the field’s understanding of the role of dance in public education. She oversees program development, implementation, and management of all of Hubbard Street’s in-school and community initiatives. With more than two decades of experience in arts education, her work supports local and national groups and, under her direction, the department has engaged in a series of in-depth research initiatives, contributing unique knowledge and assessment tools to the field, many of which have been widely published. Humphreys launched Hubbard Street Youth Dance Programs in 2007, connecting the choreographic process curricula Hubbard Street pioneered in schools with training in traditional dance techniques, for a unique and diverse slate of classes currently serving more than 1,000 students per year. The department’s Family Workshop Series brings generations together through dance, while Hubbard Street’s innovative Adaptive Dance Programs expand movement opportunities for Chicagoans with physical and mental disabilities. Humphreys consults locally and nationally on issues related to dance education, and holds an MA in Dance from Texas Woman’s University.

Claire Bataille (Director of the Lou Conte Dance Studio) was a founding dancer with Hubbard Street from 1977 to 1992, performing works created by Lou Conte, Twyla Tharp, Lynne Taylor-Corbett, Daniel Ezralow, John McFall and Margo Sappington. She received the Ruth Page Award for Outstanding Dancer in 1992. From 1977 to 2001, Bataille also served the company as Assistant Artistic Director, Ballet Mistress and Rehearsal Director. She choreographed five works between 1978 and 1985 and toured nationally and internationally with Hubbard Street.

Bataille began teaching at the Lou Conte Dance Studio in 1975 and has been teaching dance in Chicago ever since. In 2003, she earned her certification in the Pilates Method with Romana’s Pilates in New York. In 2005, Bataille was appointed Associate Director of the Lou Conte Dance Studio at the Hubbard Street Dance Center and became its Director in 2008.

Suzanne Appel (Director of External Affairs) joined Hubbard Street in August 2015 following a decade of arts leadership roles with an emphasis on business development, revenue generation, and producing the work of formchallenging artists. Most recently she served as managing director of The Cutting Ball Theater in San Francisco, where she nearly doubled the organization’s operating budget and built a two-plus-month operating reserve in four years. Her previous roles include director of individual giving at Dance Theater Workshop in New York City, associate managing director at Yale Repertory Theater in New Haven, management fellow at Berkeley Repertory Theater, and assistant director of the annual fund at Wesleyan University. While in San Francisco, she served on the board of the Tenderloin Community Benefit District. Appel maintains a freelance practice as a financial and strategic management consultant for arts organizations, holds an MBA from Yale School of Management, an MFA in Theater Management from Yale School of Drama, and a BA from Wesleyan University.

Lou Conte (Founding Artistic Director), after a performing career that included roles in Broadway musicals such as Cabaret, Mame and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, established the Lou Conte Dance Studio in 1974. Three years later, he founded what is now Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Originally the company’s sole choreographer, he developed relationships with emerging and world-renowned dancemakers Lynne Taylor-Corbett, Margo Sappington and Daniel Ezralow as the company grew. Conte 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, Conte 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, Conte 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. He has been credited by many for helping raise Chicago’s international cultural profile and for creating a welcoming climate for dance in the city, where the art form now thrives.

ABOUT

HARRIS THEATER FOR MUSIC AND DANCE

The Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance is a 1,500-seat state-of-the art performance venue located in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Opened in November 2003, the nonprofit Harris Theater was the first multi-use performance venue built in downtown Chicago since 1929. Harris Theater serves as a unique national model of collaboration between the philanthropic community and performing arts organizations in music and dance. More than a decade later, the Theater features the most diverse offerings of any venue in Chicago, hosting local, national, and internationally renowned artists and ensembles.

The Harris Theater’s primary mission is to partner with an array of Chicago’s music and dance performing arts organizations to help them build the resources and infrastructure necessary to achieve artistic growth and long-term organizational sustainability. The Harris Theater’s original group of 12 resident companies has grown to include 35 diverse and exceptionally talented performing arts organizations, including internationally acclaimed Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Music of the Baroque, Chicago Opera Theater, Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s MusicNow, and collaborations with Lyric Opera of Chicago, National Museum of Mexican Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and Columbia College Chicago. Through these partnerships, the Theater has earned national recognition as a distinctive model for collaboration, performance, and artistic advancement.

The Theater supports this mission by providing these partner organizations with subsidized rental, technical expertise, and marketing support, allowing the organizations to focus on what they do best—bringing the finest in music and dance performances to the public. The Theater offers professional development opportunities, including the innovative Learning Lab, endorsed with grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Harris Theater is also dedicated to presenting internationally acclaimed music and dance organizations to enhance its reputation as well as to help build audiences for the Theater’s resident companies. Through the Harris Theater Presents series, the Theater has achieved widespread recognition as a vital cultural anchor in Chicago. Daniel Barenboim, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Renée Fleming, the Hamburg Ballet, Lang Lang, the New York City Ballet, the Paris Opéra Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet, Stephen Sondheim, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and many others have graced the Harris’ Elizabeth Morse Genius Stage through this series.

The Harris maintains a strong emphasis on community engagement through enrichment activities and their Access Tickets Program, in which the Harris Theater partners with health and human services agencies and community organizations to provide underwritten performance tickets for individuals facing illness, disability, and challenging life circumstances.

Since 2009, the Theater has provided over 8,800 tickets to children and families, representing 25 neighborhoods across the city of Chicago. Learn more about Community Engagement programs at engage.harristheaterchicago.org.
