HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO 45 YEARS OF DANCE EXCELLENCE

2021/22 Season Annual Report

The mission of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is to bring artists, art, and audiences together to enrich, engage, educate, and change lives through the experience of dance.

For 45 years, Hubbard Street has been one of the most original forces in contemporary dance—bringing top choreographers and works to Chicago and beyond. Hubbard Street’s everevolving repertory, created by today’s leading choreographic voices, makes us 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 US states.

At home in Chicago, Hubbard Street performs 20 times a year and delivers renowned education programs in 50 classrooms across 17 Chicagoland schools. HSDC Education utilizes the choreographic process to teach essential problem-solving skills, creativity, and collaboration—expanding our reach beyond traditional concert dance audiences, ensuring that everyone has access to world-class dance and instruction.

DEAR FRIENDS, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s first live performance in nearly two years took place on November 18, 2021.

As the lights came down and the curtain went up that night, I shed more than a few silent tears. They were tears of exhaustion, tears of relief, but mostly tears of joy. Looking back, I can’t imagine what the poor usher sitting next to me was thinking, but in the moment, I couldn’t have cared less because Hubbard Street had survived.

I am so proud of the work we created during the early stages of the pandemic, producing amazing dance films that made our art more accessible than ever. In the classroom, Hubbard Street’s teaching artists devised new ways to infuse dance into students’ remote learning, bringing some levity and physicality into their long days spent in front of a screen. But let’s be honest, there is nothing like being back: back on stage, back in classrooms, back among our community.

It has been a privilege and an honor to start rebuilding Hubbard Street into the strongest possible version of ourselves and reconnect with diverse audiences alongside the inimitable Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell. Under the leadership of LindaDenise, Hubbard Street thrived this past season and our work on stage and off has helped remind all of us that dance has the power to heal and connect.

On behalf of Linda-Denise and myself, as well as Hubbard Street’s Board of Directors and staff, thank you for all that you have done to keep Hubbard Street dancing. After paging through this 2022 Annual Report, I hope you’ll come away feeling personally linked to our mission to change lives through the experience of dance. It’s a lofty vision, but it’s also real and possible.

And we’re honored to be able to do it with your support.

With gratitude,

ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE A leader in contemporary dance, Hubbard Street is consistently pushing the boundaries of the art form with integrity and excellence.

Awards for dance films from Season 43: A Virtual Homecoming:

Since its debut, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago has been synonymous with artistic excellence.

44 years later, we’re proud to say that we continue to push the boundaries of what contemporary dance can be, while simultaneously providing educational opportunities, a sense of community, and world-class artistry.

The Sky Was Different

by Jonathan Fredrickson and Tobin Del Cuore

We recognize our responsibility to help train the next generation of contemporary dancers, and so we were thrilled to be able to bring back our acclaimed and competitive Summer Intensive programs for summer 2022. We welcomed hundreds of dancers ages 13-24 to our new rehearsal studio at Water Tower Place, in addition to immersing them in the downtown Chicago dance community with classes held at Columbia College and Roosevelt University.

Here are just a few of the accolades we were honored to receive during Season 44: RE/CHARGE:

COMMUNITY AND EDUCATION Hubbard Street believes dance is for every-BODY and celebrates the process of learning and inquisitiveness.

Hubbard Street’s education programs provide the supportive environment students need to creatively express themselves. By working together to create and perform their own choreography, students gain confidence to prepare them for future success, all while fostering a spirit of collaboration in the classroom.

“The special thing about our education programs is that they aren’t focused on creating professional dancers. They’re providing essential skills for navigating our ever-changing world.

Confidence, creativity, collaboration, leadership… these are only a few of the tools students can access when they work with our teaching artists. These students have everything they need within themselves; Hubbard Street is here to help them find that.”

HSDC’s wide-ranging education programming, which serves youth as young as 5 through high school and beyond, creates new audiences now and builds audiences for the future who appreciate contemporary dance and understand that it is inclusive and for them. Exposure to HSDC’s company Dancers and talented teaching artists helps these young people begin to understand the art form and enhance their academic learning. HSDC’s education programs showcase that dance is for every-BODY: Teaching artists are trusted mentors who create a welcoming classroom environment, and encourage our students to be inquisitive, make mistakes, and celebrate the process of learning.

Following one full year of dancing with students and teachers over Zoom, HSDC’s education programs returned to in-school residencies in October 2021 and extended through June 2022. During Season 44, Hubbard Street shared the joy of dance in more than 50 classrooms across 17 schools. In March 2022, we produced our first-ever live streamed student matinee performance. Approximately 1,200 students from 14 of our school partners across the city were able to tune in to HUBBARD LIVE and experience the incredible artistry of Hubbard Street’s artists broadcast from the Museum of Contemporary Art stage—all from their classrooms!

Through HSDC’s Adaptive Dance Programs, dance instruction is tailored to welcome students on the Autism spectrum and individuals with Parkinson’s disease. The Autism Project uses dance-specific visual supports to help students explore dance technique and the choreographic process using developmentally appropriate methods. During Season 44, the Autism Project was implemented at Beard Elementary School within their Diverse Learner Program, which provides intensive support for students on the Autism spectrum and with other disabilities. The Parkinson’s Project includes weekly communal classes for individuals with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers; participants report improved dexterity, disposition, memory, physical well-being, and quality of life. The art of dance can be transformational for these populations, and Hubbard Street is one of few organizations in the Chicago area that offers classes and residencies specifically for these students.

ACCESSIBILITY AND EDI Hubbard Street proudly provides avenues of access to all and continually strives to center authentic growth in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.

Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is committed to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion across all levels of the organization—from the stage, to the rehearsal studio, to the board room.

Besides actively seeking to diversify our staff, board, and dance company, we have also expanded the scope of our artistic programming to challenge preconceived notions of what contemporary dance can be.

If anyone wants to experience dance, we want to make that possible. We are proud to provide ASL interpreters at select performances to assist our patrons who may be deaf or hard of hearing. Additionally, we’ve committed to offering over 1,000 tickets throughout the season for just $15, with tickets at that accessible price point made available for every single Hubbard Street performance. On top of this opportunity, we have ticket accommodations for students, teachers, front-line employees, industry artists, and more. In Season 44, we also launched our free online streaming initiative with a 24-hour stream of Aszure Barton’s showstopping BUSK, which was viewed globally in 22 US states and 31 countries. Over the season’s performances, 12%-25% of audience survey respondents were experiencing Hubbard Street for the very first time.

As Chicago’s contemporary dance company, we strive to reflect the city of Chicago and understand that in order to fully represent this great city, we must be as accessible, welcoming, and relevant to as many Chicagoans as possible regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, ability, and knowledge of dance.

Besides actively seeking to diversify our staff, board, and dance company, we have also expanded the scope of our artistic programming to challenge preconceived notions of what contemporary dance can be.

FUTURE VISION With new artistic leadership and a new home, Hubbard Street’s future is bright.

The abrupt onset of the pandemic and subsequent closure of the beloved Lou Conte Dance Studio marked the beginning of a tumultuous time for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.

Nevertheless, we faced these challenges with a resilient and adaptive spirit. Now, thanks to a beckoning vision and a new home, HSDC is becoming the strongest version of ourselves.

When Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell was instated as HSDC’s fourth Artistic Director in the Spring of 2021, she became the first woman, first person of color and the first Hubbard Street alumni to hold the title. Her vision of honoring her predecessors’ legacies while simultaneously keeping bold, groundbreaking work coursing through the company made her Season 44 a rousing success. By trusting the creative process and using her instincts, she successfully brought Hubbard Street back to live performance and curated sleek, memorable, powerful programming to showcase the company’s new era.

In the spirit of growth and embracing the next chapter, Hubbard Street was elated to move into a brand-new rehearsal space, the Pritzker Foundation Studio inside Chicago’s Water Tower Place (WTP). The updated facility features two flexible dance studios, an artist lounge, office area, production storage, dressing rooms, wardrobe shop, and a physical therapy area. Visitors to WTP are even able to get a partial view of rehearsals in progress as they stroll the mall, allowing new connectivity for Hubbard Street to our community and potential patrons. As noted by Executive Director Dave McDermott, “our presence in one of Chicago’s most popular destinations gives us an opportunity to integrate the company further into the cultural fabric of Chicago.”

“Here’s what I feel: I feel secure in that I’m trying to include everyone.

I really am thinking about coming back to the theater and being just as ‘wowed.’ And maybe it’s a little different, but the wow factor is still there and there’s still a space for you. This company has been accumulating and amassing all of these many different choreographic works over these 44 years that have been all over the place, in the realm of jazz and contemporary dance, and so let’s keep adding. Let’s keep adding.”

—Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell, Artistic Director

HSDC is the first major nonprofit cultural organization to anchor WTP, showcasing a more innovative and inclusive possibility for art and commerce. The space has allowed the company to flourish as we welcomed artists, Summer Intensive students, and community members home again for on-site classes, intimate performances, and most importantly reconnection with one another. HSDC is excited by the myriad possibilities a space like this can offer.

“The 44-year-old dance company’s resuscitation plan has been intentional and swift, steered artistically by Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell.

Fisher-Harrell became artistic director in 2021—right in the middle of an all-virtual season; as she lays out her curatorial cards this year, it’s clear Hubbard Street is in capable hands.” —Chicago Tribune
