Winter Series 2018

A letter from Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director and David McDermott, Executive Director Thank you for joining us for a very special iteration of our danc(e)volve: New Works Festival this weekend at the Harris Theater.

It brings us an incredible amount of joy and pride to present an evening of world premieres conjured from the imaginations of our own Choreographer Fellows Rena Butler and Florian Lochner, and former dancer and now emerging choreographer Alice Klock. danc(e)volve started back in our 34th season in January 2012 with a mission to foster the talents from within the company. danc(e)volve and our annual Inside/Out Choreographic Workshop have become catalysts to the future careers of our dancers by giving them time and resources to make new work. This project has supported choreographers like Alejandro Cerrudo, Robyn Mineko Williams, Penny Saunders, Brian Enos, Lucas Crandall, and Alice Klock who have all continued on to choreographic careers, recognized by receiving commissions from other companies, awards, and standing ovations. The initiative has been developed further through the creation of the Choreographic Fellows program. Our Choreographic Fellows create new work, mentor our professional program (HS Pro) dancers, and choreograph and teach during our Intensive programs.

Each choreographer in this danc(e)volve program has tapped into an aspect of their own lives and their inner self. Rena is representing her culture and the vast cultures she’s been inspired by through her travels in her life. Florian is focused very much on family and the lineage of family concentrating on the past to present life, and Alice has created a concept where she is expressing multilayers of her spirit and personality through characterizing each dancer as a facet of one person.

This program is highly collaborative highlighting the incredible in-house talent we have within the company, not only in our dancers and choreographers but in our designers as well. Our Head of Wardrobe, Jenni Schwaner Ladd, and Lighting Supervisor, Kaili Story, have enhanced the program through costume and lighting design and we are excited to give their creative voices an outlet to shine. This program has also given our 34 professional program (HS Pro) dancers the opportunity to share the stage with the company dancers, an experience that progresses their studies at Hubbard Street and provides a stepping stone to a future career in the dance field.

In March we will be back again, but this time at the Auditorium Theatre for an incredible first-time collaboration with Cuba’s Malpaso Dance Company featuring work by Malpaso Artistic Director, Osnel Delgado, and former Hubbard Street Dancer and Princess Grace Award winning choreographer Robyn Mineko Williams. Trust us, you won’t want to miss this astonishing two-night only collaboration.

See you in the theater,

GLENN EDGERTON ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Glenn Edgerton 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.

Q+A How long have you worked at Hubbard Street?

I started part time in 2007–2008, became Associate Artistic Director in 2008/2009, became Artistic Director in 2009 to present, so all in all eleven years.

What is your favorite Hubbard Street memory?

During the search process for my position as Artistic Director we went through a series of interviews with each department in the organization. At the end of the day I had a notice on my windshield of my car from the dancers that I received a yes vote from 100% of the dancers. From that moment till now I have continued to feel supported from the organization.

What tips for watching a contemporary dance performance do you have?

I equate watching contemporary dance to viewing an exhibit at a contemporary art museum.

It’s important to come into the work with an imaginative mindset and allow yourself to interpret the work in your own way.

What is a fun fact our audiences don’t know about you?

I began putting on dance performances at age five, charging 25 cents per performance in my garage.

DAVID MCDERMOTT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

David McDermott most recently served as the First Deputy Commissioner at the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. In this role, David managed the day to day operations of the department and played instrumental roles in major initiatives such as creating the Chicago Cultural Plan, revitalizing the Taste of Chicago, and ensuring the success of the Chicago Architecture Biennial. Prior to his employment with the City, David led Senator Durbin’s Department of Community Outreach, served as the Senator’s Political Director, and has managed political campaigns at the congressional, county, and municipal levels. David recently completed a fellowship at the University of Chicago’s Civic Leadership Academy and holds a degree in Public Policy from Trinity College at the University of Dublin.

Q+A How long have you worked at Hubbard Street?

A little over a year now.

Do you have a favorite Hubbard Street piece?

So far, my favorite piece or part of a piece is a duet between two men from Decadance/Chicago by Ohad Naharin.

What does Hubbard Street mean to you?

As the premier contemporary dance company in the country, to me Hubbard Street means being top notch in every way. From our incredible company to our high quality artist training and community programs, Hubbard Street has so much to offer. It is amazing to be a part of an organization of that quality.

What is a fun fact about you that our audience doesn’t know?

I come from a background in politics. I have served as Richard Durbin’s political director and campaign manager for Tammy Duckworth.

HUBBARD STREET STAFF PROFILES 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.

Jessica Tong (Rehearsal Director) received her formal training at The Ballet School in Salt Lake City, Utah under Jan Clark Fugit, as well as at the University of Utah, where she was a member of Utah Ballet. Tong danced with BalletMet in Columbus, Ohio, Eliot Feld’s Ballet Tech in New York, and Hubbard Street 2 before dancing with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago for 11 years. Jessica has performed in numerous works throughout her career, including pieces by Hubbard Street founder, Lou Conte, and contemporary greats Nacho Duato, Mats Ek, Jiri Kylian, and Ohad Naharin, to name a few. She has also originated roles in works by Aszure Barton, Alejandro Cerrudo, Jorma Elo, Penny Saunders, and Robyn Mineko Williams, among others. Named one of Dance Magazine’s Top 25 to Watch in 2009, Jessica served on the Dance Ambassador committee of Dance for Life for 4 years. Jessica has helped set works by Alejandro Cerrudo for Hubbard Street, and will assist Penny Saunders in a work for Ballet Idaho in Fall 2018.

ABOUT

Harris Theater For Music And Dance

Photo By Hedrich Blessing

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 1,499-seat state-of-the art performance venue was the first multi-use performance venue built in downtown Chicago since 1929. Now in its 15th anniversary 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 arts and culture organizations, including Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus, Chicago Humanities Festival, Chicago Opera Theater, Chicago Philharmonic, 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 Mikhail Baryshnikov, Batsheva Dance Company, Joshua Bell, Renée Fleming, Angélique Kidjo, Hamburg Ballet, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, 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.
