danc(e)volve: New Works Festival 2017

A letter from Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director Thank you for joining us for danc(e)volve: New Works Festival at the Museum of Contemporary Art. This weekend we are presenting the newest creations of four innovative and creative Chicago-based choreographers; Julia Rhoads, Robyn Mineko Williams, Penny Saunders, and Alice Klock. Each brings individuality and uniqueness to the stage to create a program that is both challenging for the dancers and interesting for our audiences.

I’ve been following Julia Rhoads, Artistic Director of Lucky Plush Productions, since I first came to Chicago eight years ago. She brings out the individuality in each of the dancers and has brought a new approach of working which has included singing and the use of dialogue into the studio. Robyn Mineko Williams is also creating a new work for danc(e)volve, titled Cloudline. I always enjoy seeing the contrast of the choreographic process from choreographer to choreographer, and how the character of each new creation comes through, especially in this danc(e)volve program.

Part of Hubbard Street’s mission is to provide opportunities for our dancers to pursue their artistic ambitions. It has been great to see Robyn, Penny, and Alice develop their skills as choreographers and I am happy to have the chance to help facilitate those goals.

Berceuse by Penny Saunders, was first premiered during Hubbard Street’s Inside/Out Choreographic Workshop in 2011 and although it is not making its premiere, this will be the first time audiences will see it in a formal setting on stage. Similarly, Alice Klock’s piece Clan(device), while it premiered in Germany earlier this season by Hubbard Street 2 has been reworked and is, in essence, a whole new piece for the company.

I am also excited to see the company perform on the stage of the Museum of Contemporary Art. To have the audience in such close proximity to the dancers provides an intimate experience that highlights the works being presented and allows everyone in the space to engage in the work completely.

Be sure to come back and join us again in June as we launch our 40th season with a celebration of Hubbard Street’s history, combining classics and audience favorites from the past four decades, including The 40s and Georgia by Hubbard Street’s founding Artistic Director, Lou Conte. We hope you’ll join us for this retrospective look at the company before we move forward into our 40th Anniversary Season!

Warmly,

Glenn Edgerton Artistic Director Hubbard Street Dance Chicago

danc(e)volve: New Works Festival 2017

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 39th season in 2016–17, 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.

Under his leadership, the company presented full performance seasons annually at the Kennedy Center and the Warner Theater, and nurtured its world-renowned school and extensive education and outreach programs. A graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, Palmquist currently serves on the boards of the Arts Alliance of Illinois and the Harris Theater for Music and Dance.

Karena Fiorenza Ingersoll (General Manager) brings more than a decade of experience to Hubbard Street as a leader, fundraiser and producer in the performing arts. Most recently, she served as the associate managing director of Berkeley Repertory Theatre in California, where she line-produced and managed all new play development efforts, shepherding 30% growth in capacity. Previous tenures include executive director of contemporary dance company Robert Moses’ Kin (San Francisco, CA), associate managing director of Yale Repertory Theatre (New Haven, CT), management fellow during ArtsEmerson’s inaugural presenting year (Boston, MA), annual fund manager at Aurora Theatre (Berkeley, CA), and international experience in Mexico City working for a nonprofit humanitarian group. While in the Bay Area, Fiorenza Ingersoll was secretary and then president of the Berkeley Cultural Trust and a proud member of the Bay Area Latino Theatre Artists Network. She is also a freelance arts management strategist and artist representative, partnering with individual artists and ensembles whose work gives voice to underrepresented stories and perspectives. Recognized nationally, Fiorenza Ingersoll was invited in 2014 by Theatre Communications Group to be part of its SPARK Leadership Program’s inaugural class. She holds two bachelor’s degrees from the University of California at Berkeley and an MFA in Theater Management from Yale University.

Alejandro Cerrudo (Resident 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.

Fifteen 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.

HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO Lucas Crandall (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, 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.

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.
