Hubbard Street Dance Chicago Annual Report 22/23 | Sapphire Season

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 ever-evolving 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.

Outside of performance, Hubbard Street delivers renowned education programs in 50 classrooms across 17 Chicagoland schools and is proud to partner with institutions like Special Olympics and Lurie Children’s Hospital to bring dance to everyBODY. 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,

As I reflect on Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s legacy, I am struck by the excellence the company has produced at every turn: excellent dancers, excellent repertoire, and an excellent sense of community. We were founded in 1977, but Hubbard Street is still here, still growing, diversifying, and still invested in the here and now of contemporary dance.

Our 45th Anniversary Sapphire Season was a jubilant tribute to our company’s rich history while always reaching forward. There was much to celebrate:

n For the first time, we sent a Teaching Artist on tour with our Dancers and shared our spark with the educators of Saratoga Springs, New York

n We announced that the visionary, internationally-acclaimed choreographer Aszure Barton will serve as our next Resident Artist

n We shared that Alexandria Best became the 11th Hubbard Street Dancer in our history to receive the prestigious Princess Grace award, further solidifying Hubbard Street’s position as the most decorated contemporary company since the PGA’s inception

n Finally, as we said goodbye to Season 45, we captured the attention of dancers and dance lovers nationwide when we graced the cover of Dance Magazine, the illustrious publication dedicated to our craft.

On behalf of myself, our Executive Director David McDermott, and the Hubbard Street Dance Chicago Board of Directors and Staff, thank you for believing in our mission. Your support empowers us to change lives through contemporary dance, propelled by a diverse and versatile array of artists. I encourage you to take a moment to review our Annual Report, and immerse yourself in the Hubbard Street community. It’s just a beautiful place to be.

Yours in motion,

Linda-Denise Fisher Harrell Artistic Director Hubbard Street Dance Chicago

ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE

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

For 45 years, the artistry at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago has been exceptional, and we are proud to remain at the forefront of contemporary dance. With successes during our 45th Anniversary Sapphire Season ranging from second highest grossing sales among the visiting companies at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival to Hubbard Street’s position as the contemporary dance company with the most Princess Grace Award recipients, our Dancers are at the top of the field. We were thrilled to return to touring this year and share our artistry at sold-out performances from West Virginia all the way to Hawaii, and at storied venues like the Guggenheim Museum and The Joyce Theater in New York City.

We have also caught the attention of nationwide media outlets with a stunning profile on Artistic Director Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell in The New York Times, a Chicago Tribune feature announcing renowned choreographer Aszure Barton’s appointment as Resident Artist over the next 3 seasons, and a cover story in the August 2023 issue of Dance Magazine. Hubbard Street welcomed six visiting choreographers during the Sapphire Season, including: our beloved Founder Lou Conte; the legendary Lar Lubovitch; Hubbard Street Dance Chicago alumni artist and Princess Grace Award winner Rena Butler; Guggenheim Museum Works & Process artist Hope Boykin; Princess Grace Award winner Thang Dao; and the incomparable hip hop legend Rennie Harris.

The enthusiasm of our audiences right now is palpable, and the future for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is bright. We were honored to celebrate Hubbard Street’s 45-year-legacy this past season and we look forward to building a vibrant future for contemporary dance with you by our side.

With HSDC’s upcoming Summer Series, Facets , and the announcement of [Aszure] Barton as new Resident Artist, there is good reason to pay attention to what this legacy company has to offer in the very near future.”

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

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

This summer, Hubbard Street offered 182 dancers the opportunity to work with over 40 industry professionals serving as faculty and staff at our Summer Intensives. Through the TEEN, CREATE, and EXPLORE programs, attendees ages 13-25 gathered in Chicago to become immersed in advancing their pursuits as a dancer. New this year was the announcement of our Summer Intensive Fellowship awarded to 6 participants who demonstrated exemplary qualities in dedication to technical excellence, a strong work ethic with an open mind to learn, and a passion for community and collaboration during their Intensive sessions. This new endeavor, meant to bridge the gap between training and professional career, offers the recipients the unique opportunity to dance alongside the Company next season during a week-long residency and world premiere creation process.

Hubbard Street was also thrilled to expand our educational opportunites and, for the first time, send a Teaching Artist on tour with the main company to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. The idea behind this collaborative workshop was to share insights, kinesthetic learning and Creative Dance techniques that are central to our “MAP”—Movement as Partnership— program, which brings the artistry and expertise of Hubbard Street’s Teaching Artists to more than 50 classrooms across 17 schools in Chicago, creating a space for students and teachers to explore dance and choreography, all while fostering social emotional learning and problem-solving skills. Additionally, we hosted a professional development workshop in Saratoga to spark ideas among local teachers as they create curriculum and set art practices in their classrooms. As one participant stated, the experience with Hubbard Street was “just the tonic I needed to start the school year off with enthusiasm and a fresh perspective.” By incorporating tactile exercises and aligning core subjects with dance programming ), the participating teacher reported experiencing “enormous success” with the tools HSDC shared.

Hubbard Street is working to more deliberately and collaboratively tie our education programs to the professional company after piloting a new initiative in the 2022-23 school year that brought Hubbard Street Dancers directly to the classroom to engage with students. By pairing a Teaching Artist and Company Dancer in our traditional residency, students were able to see a dance come to life before their eyes as they helped ‘direct’ the Dancer by calling out movements or speeds or breath work they had previously learned with their Teaching Artist, and then getting to test their own dance creation in small groups. We aim to host more opportunities like this across our partner schools in the coming year, and also look forward to exciting community programming like: HUBBARD Live and Family Days at the MCA; a partnership with Lurie Children’s Hospital; and invited workshops with our fellow Chicago dance companies in which we welcome them into our space to dance together and learn from one another.

COMMUNITY, ACCESSIBILITY, AND DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ANTI-RACISM (DEIA)

Hubbard Street proudly provides avenues of access to all and continually strives to center authentic growth in DEIA.

Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s 45th Anniversary Sapphire Season brought back highlyanticipated in-studio programming and welcomed new and old friends to gatherings and performances at home and on tour. Cocktails & Choreography, an in-studio sneak peek of upcoming works and premieres, offers an intimate look at the choreographic process and invites patrons to interact with dancers and visiting choreographers. This year, we hosted six such events, including a special spotlight centered upon the revival of Lou Conte’s acclaimed work, Georgia. Equally as exciting, we revamped a beloved event as Bold Moves for Bold Voices, a new name to celebrate the multitude of cultural leaders and visionary artists working among us. The return of this stunning evening featured choreographer Hope Boykin as she premiered her poetic piece on a PATH and honored Sterling Bay’s Dr. Suzet M. McKinney as this year’s Bold Moves Award recipient. With the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago galleries as a backdrop, Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell led an inspiring conversation between Boykin and McKinney about innovation, leadership, and boldly breaking boundaries to build a better world.

Hubbard Street Dance Chicago actively works to advance access to world-class contemporary dance. This year, we proudly launched the Ticket Access Initiative (TAI), offering free tickets to new audiences who might otherwise be unable to attend, due to real and/or perceived barriers. HSDC was grateful to welcome organizations including:

We are glad to provide ASL interpretation at special events and at all Sunday matinee performances, and strive to be a welcoming and inclusive place for audiences of all abilities.

As an organization, we are committed to advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, and antiracism within our art. This year, the entire company participated in a full-day training with Enrich Chicago with the goal of nurturing the workplace through intentional, authentic, and equitable practices. Our DEIA Committee has been re-established to function as a crossdepartmental resource for accountability and inclusion across the organization.

“I was completely overtaken by the moment and would recommend to anyone. My daughter is severely disabled and it’s not always easy to predict how she will be in an audience. She was engrossed. She was engaged. She was transported. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

FUTURE VISION

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

For the past 18 months, Hubbard Street has been reflecting on what it means to be at the forefront of contemporary dance – both artistically and organizationally – and how to prepare for the next 45 years of success. Through a Strategic Planning Committee, we engaged with our community, peers, employees, and board to dive deeper into the recent challenges of our industry, while identifying and honing our goals and needs in order to create a stronger and more forward-looking HSDC. The process, facilitated by the Arts Consulting Group, has been extensive and inclusive. We have engaged a diversity of internal and external voices, conducted surveys, interviews, and gathered data to inform our plan. We have been inspired by these conversations and have never felt the love and thoughtfulness of our community more fully.

The result is a new mission statement and strategic plan that looks both to our past and to our community as guiding lights for our future. By delving into our rich legacy and history in Chicago and beyond, Hubbard Street will redouble our commitment to awakening the human spirit through contemporary dance, while thoughtfully building a dance ecosystem that is accessible and relevant to all. In this work, we will be guided by our commitment to presenting diverse voices and taking the risks necessary to open new pathways on our journey towards greatness, deeper community, and an environment of learning and possibility.

We are currently fine-tuning these values, creating a holistic document that encompasses a 5-year plan as the company approaches 50 years of groundbreaking contemporary dance in Chicago and beyond. We will announce these strategic goals, fortified mission statement, and reinvigorated values as an organization in the coming season.

“The company, under the leadership of artistic director Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell, seems to be evolving…toward a commitment to the legacy and the here-and-now of Chicago and American dance.” —Chicago Reader
