A letter from Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director There is no better way to open our 40th Anniversary than with a program that is about taking risks and seeing dance in a new way. Space, In Perspective is unlike anything Hubbard Street has ever done.

Presenting dance in this new format beyond the confines of the proscenium stage is something I have always dreamed of doing and I am excited to be using the Harris Theater as the canvas for this dance experience. As an audience member, you will have the opportunity to have an intimate and up-close experience with the Hubbard Street dancers as you move through the various spaces of the Harris.

Peter Chu and the rest of the creative team each come into this project with a fresh and innovative set of eyes that has made Space, In Perspective come to life. Peter has engaged the dancers to be part of the creative process by utilizing their movement qualities and characteristics to generate a truly collaborative fusion between choreographer and dance artist.. This performance also incorporates the aspiring professional dancers in our new Hubbard Street Professional Program, HSPro. It is very exciting to have these dancers immediately integrated into the organization in such a prominent way.

The rest of our Season 40 highlights three choreographers who have been influential to Hubbard Street during its’ four decade history. In December, we present three works by Crystal Pite, who brings a wonderful depth and energy to the company. This spring we return to the Auditorium Theatre for a two-night engagement dedicated to Resident Choreographer, Alejandro Cerrudo. He will meld some of his most cherished works during his ten-year career as Resident Choreographer mixed with a new premiere on this program. These performances will show a prolific period of Alejandro’s tenure with Hubbard Street. After seeing his latest work at the Guggenheim Museum for ballet star Daniil Simkin, his work has evolved into a new realm. Then, we wrap up Season 40 with an evening-length work by Ohad Naharin, with his beloved Minus 16 at the core of a newly imagined collage blended together specifically for Hubbard Street.

We hope you will join us for this not-to-miss season of dance! I look forward to seeing you in the theater.

Warmly,

Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director Hubbard Street Dance Chicago

CHOREOGRAPHER PROFILE Originally from Cocoa Beach, Florida, PETER CHU is a distinguished artist who strives to push the physical bounds of dance. He began his training as a competitive gymnast, later nurturing his artistry at Dussich Dance Studio where his evolution into dance began. As a BFA student at The Juilliard School (under the direction of Benjamin Harkarvy), Chu was pushed further as a technical mover and began an explosive journey into choreography. Upon graduation, he was awarded the Hector Zaraspe Prize for Choreography.

Chu is a remarkable and multi-faceted artist. As a performer, he has danced with BJM _Danse and EZdanza, as the lead in Christina Perri’s Jar of Hearts music video, in Celine Dion’s Vegas spectacular A New Day, and with Crystal Pite’s company Kidd Pivot.

In 2008, Chu formed a Las Vegas project-based company—chuthis. His multi-disciplinary dance company combines innovative lighting and sound with live contemporary movement. Chu presented his newest works, Face Her and Smile Masking, under a residency partnership with the Las Vegas— Clark County Library District and later premiered the works at Festival International DansEncore.

Chuthis. also provides movement classes at universities and dance programs domestically and abroad plus hosts its own annual movement intensive. The chuthis. Movement Intensive fosters technical/artistic development and mind/body familiarity while igniting an adventurous side of dance. Recently, Peter implemented chuthis. Moves, 2-3 day customized workshops that emphasize movement education.

Recipient of the 2010 A.C.E. Capezio Award, Chu was also honored as selected choreographer for the Perry-Mansfield New Works Festival (directed by Linda Kent) and choreographed for the ninth and tenth seasons of So You Think You Can Dance. He has created pieces for Naomi Stikeman (Çaturn; consulted by Robert Lepage), Orlando Ballet Theatre, Hubbard Street 2, Giordano Dance Chicago, Houston Met Dance Company, and New Dialect. He has also created for Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) Summer Intensive (2013, 2014, 2016), Springboard Danse Montréal (principal company—2014, 2017), Western Michigan University, The Juilliard School, SUNY Purchase, Brigham Young University Contemporary Dance Theatre, Southern University of Utah, and Alvin Ailey Certificate Program.

Teaching highlights include Harvard University, Hubbard Street Studio Series, Axis Connect, The Dance Teacher Summit, and Movement Invention Project in NYC. Most recently, Chu served as the Rehearsal Director for Nederlands Dans Theater 2, and as a Guest Rehearsal Director for NDT1. He also created works for Giordano Dance Chicago (Divided Against) and Hubbard Street 2 (Floating After Times). Additionally, Chu performed Crystal Pite’s works A Picture of You Falling and Betroffenheit in Canada and Europe. This season, Chu looks forward to premiering new creations for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and Charlotte Ballet, as well as continuing to develop work with his own company, chuthis.

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 40th Anniversary in 2017–18, Hubbard Street continues to be an innovative force, supporting its creative talent while presenting repertoire 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, The Second City 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.

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’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 STAFF PROFILES Glenn Edgerton (Artistic Director) joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago after an international career as a dancer and director. At the Joffrey Ballet, he performed leading roles, contemporary and classical, for 11 years under the mentorship of Robert Joffrey. In 1989, Edgerton joined the acclaimed Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), where he danced for five years. He retired from performing to become its artistic director, leading NDT 1 for a decade and presenting the works of Jiří Kylián, Hans van Manen, William Forsythe, Ohad Naharin, Mats Ek, Nacho Duato, Jorma Elo, Johan Inger, Paul Lightfoot and Sol León, among others. From 2006 to 2008, he directed the Colburn Dance Institute at the Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles. Edgerton joined Hubbard Street as associate artistic director in 2008; since 2009 as artistic director, he has built upon more than three decades of leadership in dance performance, education and appreciation established by founder Lou Conte and continued by Conte’s successor, Jim Vincent. Edgerton was awarded with an honorary doctorate of the arts degree from California Institute of the Arts in May 2016.

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, Lou Conte 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.

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.

ABOUT

HARRIS THEATER FOR MUSIC AND DANCE

The Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance is Chicago’s primary residence for music and dance, connecting diverse audiences with outstanding artists from across the city, the nation, and the world.

Opened in November 2003 in Chicago’s Millennium Park, the 1,525-seat state-of-the art performance venue was the first multi-use performance venue built in downtown Chicago since 1929. Now in its fourteenth season, the Theater features the most diverse offerings of any venue in Chicago, and has earned national recognition as a distinctive model for collaboration, performance, and artistic advancement.

The Theater’s activities fall under three central strategies: support for local music and dance companies, presentation of national and international artists, and community engagement and educational programs.

Today, the Harris Theater’s original group of 12 resident companies has grown to include 30 diverse music and dance companies, including Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus, Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s MusicNow, Giordano Dance Chicago, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and Music of the Baroque. The Theater supports resident companies with subsidized rental, technical expertise, marketing support, and professional development opportunities, allowing the organizations to focus on what they do best—bringing the finest in music and dance performances to the public.

The Harris Theater is also dedicated to presenting the highest quality artistic programming, bringing celebrated artists and ensembles from throughout the world to Chicago through the Harris Theater Presents series. The Theater has achieved widespread recognition as a vital cultural anchor in Chicago, bringing artists such as Daniel Barenboim, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Joshua Bell, Renée Fleming, Angélique Kidjo, Hamburg Ballet, Paris Opéra Ballet, and Stephen Sondheim to the Elizabeth Morse Genius Stage.

The Harris Theater’s community engagement initiatives take advantage of access to the world’s leading musicians and dancers, building bridges to people from throughout the Chicago region and nurturing the next generation of artists and audiences. Ongoing programs include Arts Education Partnerships, which offers master classes and artist talks, and Access Tickets, which has provided over 13,000 free tickets to youth and families from more than 35 partner organizations.

To learn more about the Harris Theater, please visit HarrisTheaterChicago.org. Call the Box Office at 312.334.7777 to request a brochure or additional information.
