“The trajectory and pathways of your body are prescribed, but you have space to approach it as an improvisation,” Pite says. “Everyone does better when they feel a sense of ownership over what they’re doing. They’re responsible for creating it in real time, and I want them to feel like they have agency and are a creative collaborator. That’s what makes it vibrate with life. Otherwise we’re just copying and something dies.” Dancers: Craig D. Black Jr., Jacqueline Burnett, Rena Butler, Alicia Delgadillo, Kellie Epperheimer, Elliot Hammans, Alysia Johnson, Adrienne Lipson, Adam McGaw, Andrew Murdock, Abdiel Figueroa Reyes, David Schultz, Kevin J. Shannon, Connie Shiau Original composition by Owen Belton. Created and first performed by Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet in New York in 2011.

This work is a multifaceted viewpoint of code-switching as a means of either sterilizing oneself or how one can keep adhering and adapting to an evolving space. The abstracted gaze allows the viewer an accessible vantage point to identify themselves, and make decisions on what is presented before them. Through connectivity of juxtaposing communities, this work poses questions of universality, and how we can build a multilingual and progressive future for ourselves. Dancers: Jacqueline Burnett, Elliot Hammans, Alysia Johnson, Adam McGaw, Abdiel Figueroa Reyes, Connie Shiau Original composition by Darryl J. Hoffman. Featured selections include: “Sculpture,” written and composed by Marcin Cichy and Igor Pudlo, published by Just Isn’t Music, administered by Third Side Music. “Sharp Sweet” and “The Anthem,” original composition by Darryl J. Hoffman. “Everybody’s Something” by Chance the Rapper, featuring Saba and BJ the Chicago Kid and “Paranoia” by Chance the Rapper, featuring Lili K and Nosaj Thing from Acid Rap with permission granted by the artist. “The House Divided” speech by Abraham Lincoln, adapted and edited by Rena Butler, Spanish text translated and spoken by Abdiel Figueroa Reyes, Mandarin text translated and spoken by Connie Shiau, Arabic text translated and spoken by Mirza Shams, English text spoken by Rena Butler and Jessica Tong. “Drum & Drone” by Justin Hurwitz from the film Whiplash. “Duelin’ Banjos” performed by Eric Weissberg & Steve Mandell and written by Arthur Smith, administered by Warner/Chappell Music and SonyATV .

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 ensured 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, 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 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 joining Hubbard Street Dance Chicago for 11 years. Named one of Dance Magazine’s Top 25 to Watch in 2009, Jessica has had the pleasure of serving on the Dance Ambassador committee of Dance for Life Chicago and has helped set works by Alejandro Cerrudo and Penny Saunders.

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. Today, 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 15,000 free tickets to youth and families from more than 90 partner organizations.
