Fall Series 2018
A letter from Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director Welcome to the start of Hubbard Street’s Season 41. I am excited to share with you a year filled with innovative programming, exciting collaborations, and groundbreaking world premieres. It is my thrill in life to bring together artists that are open minded and collaborative. Every aspect of the Fall Series, from the choreography to the music, costumes, set design and lighting design demonstrates an in-depth collaboration. Tonight’s performance brings together three choreographers; Emma Portner, Lil Buck, and Jon Boogz, together with live music by Chicago’s own Third Coast Percussion. In addition to exquisite costumes by Hogan McLaughlin, lighting by Jim French, and set design by David Kim, there is new music composed for this production by Devonté Hynes. Collaborating with Third Coast Percussion has been a dream of mine for quite some time. Since 2014, when TCP performed live for Jiří Kylián’s Falling Angels we have been discussing what our next collaboration could be. Having TCP playing Dev Hynes’ new composition in rehearsals has made the studio come alive. The energy they bring to the piece is unmatched and I am delighted to have them share the stage with the dancers as part of the performance. It has also been incredible to see our dancers take on the challenge of Emma Portner, Lil Buck and Jon Boogz’s choreography. Lil Buck and Jon Boogz specialize in Hip Hop and Jookin’, styles that many of our dancers were unfamiliar. The Hubbard Street dancers are true chameleons of dance, and every day I am impressed with their ability to take on and adapt to new styles. Emma Portner is on the brink of her artistic explosion into the contemporary dance world. It is both exciting to have her fresh take on choreography as well as having Hubbard Street be a part of her journey as an artist. Watching the level of imagination all these artists bring to the studio, and now the stage, is incredible. All three choreographers exemplify an element that is current in today’s dance scene which demonstrates the great trajectory of where the dance field is headed. I am eager to share this work with you tonight, as well as with audiences across the country. We will tour this work to six cities this season including Los Angeles and during a two week engagement at the Joyce Theater in NYC. Join us again in December for another evening of exciting programming during dancEvolve:360 featuring choreography by Hubbard Street’s own artists; Alice Klock, and Choreographic Fellows Rena Butler and Florian Lochner. See you in the theater,

winning, artist-run quartet of classically-trained percussionists hailing from Chicago. For more than ten years, the ensemble has forged a unique path in the musical landscape with virtuosic, energetic performances that celebrate the extraordinary depth and breadth of musical possibilities in the world of percussion. The ensemble has been praised for “commandingly elegant” (New York Times) performances, the “rare power” (Washington Post) of their recordings, and “an inspirational sense of fun and curiosity” (Minnesota Star-Tribune). The four members of Third Coast are also accomplished teachers, and since 2013, have served as ensemble-in-residence at the University of Notre Dame’s DeBartolo Performing Arts Center. Third Coast Performers: Sean Connors, Robert Dillon, Peter Martin, and David Skidmore.
Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, EMMA PORTNER is the youngest woman in documented history to choreograph a musical in the West-End, titled “Bat Out of Hell: The Musical.” Portner shares her unique abilities internationally, in live settings and across social media platforms. Her performance and choreography appear in Justin Bieber’s “Life Is Worth Living” video as well as on his “Purpose World Tour.” The New York Times calls her “beguiling” and has selected her for their “30 under 30” documentary series. Dance Spirit Magazine writes that she has an “unstoppable career,” is “changing the dance world” and that her “imagination knows no bounds.” In 2012, American Dance Awards named Emma “Young Choreographer of the Year.” Since then, her choreography has garnered millions of international views and won several awards, including top placement in the 2014 CAPEZIO A.C.E Awards. Upcoming concert dance projects include a Fall for Dance North commission with Montreal-based dancer/choreographer Anne Plamondon and a full length commission for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Forever a student, she hopes to keep pushing boundaries while remaining curious, honest and versatile.

About Hubbard Street Under the leadership of Glenn Edgerton and David McDermott, 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. Now in it’s 41st Season in 2018–19, 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 Jason Palmquist joined the organization. Palmquist led the organization for almost a decade until 2017 when David McDermott was named Hubbard Street’s third Executive Director. Glenn Edgerton became Artistic Director in 2009 and moved this legacy forward on multiple fronts. Inside/Out is now part of a broader strategy for building new repertoire, 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 — celebrating it’s 45th Anniversary this February — 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. David McDermott (Executive Director) 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 the 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. 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.

HUBBARD STREET STAFF PROFILES 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 Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Nederlands Dans Theater. These pieces and additional commissions are in the 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. Cerrudo is one of four choreographers invited by New York City Ballet principal Wendy Whelan to create and perform original duets for Restless Creature, and he was recently announced the 2014 USA Donnelley Fellow by United States Artists. 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.
