A letter from Glenn Edgerton, Artistic Director Thank you for joining us for our Season 39 Spring Series. Part of Hubbard Street’s mission has always been to present local and international choreographers, both innovative new talents alongside those who are masters of their craft. Our Spring program does just that, combining the talents of Nacho Duato, a groundbreaking force in contemporary dance for over 30 years, with Crystal Pite, one of today’s most exciting choreographers, and Lucas Crandall, one of Hubbard Street’s most valued artistic team members. Our Spring Series marks 20 years of performing works by master choreographer, Nacho Duato. Jardí Tancat, his first choreography, was the first European work to be brought to Hubbard Street by Lou Conte. It changed the flavor of the company and it is to Lou’s credit, that he had a vision for what the next phase of the company could be when he brought Nacho’s work to Hubbard Street. I am excited to now revisit Jardí Tancat, alongside the Hubbard Street premiere of Violoncello, an excerpt from Duato’s signature work Multiplicity. Forms of Silence and Emptiness.

Similarly, last winter, Hubbard Street was the first U.S. company to perform Crystal Pite’s Solo Echo. Crystal Pite’s work is at the forefront of contemporary dance today. Solo Echo combines technical mastery and stunning visual elements to create something truly magical and Lucas Crandall’s Imprint gives the audience a visionary and visceral experience. The Spring Series also marks the launch of our full DreamTix program, an initiative we started earlier this year dedicated to providing free tickets to Chicago Public School students and their guardians. We are very excited to be able to share our artistry with over 1,200 of these students this weekend. This May we continue Season 39 with danc(e)volve: New Works Festival, May 10–14 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, presenting innovative works by choreographers Robyn Mineko Williams, Julia Rhoads, Penny Saunders, and Alice Klock. Then, in June, we will kick off our 40th season with a celebration of Hubbard Street’s history, combining classics and audience favorites from the past four decades. We hope you will continue to join us during this exciting time as we celebrate all we have accomplished over the company’s history and look forward to even more creative possibilities for the future. Warmly,

Glenn Edgerton Artistic Director Hubbard Street Dance Chicago

“Above all I’d like to thank the artists of Hubbard Street for their commitment to this creative process, and for their contributions in the studio. With Imprint, I sought to create an experience both visceral and visual – one which expresses a collective consciousness by exploring the dancers’ instinctive responses to natural and urban imagery” —Lucas Crandall

“Water, we asked for water; And You, oh Lord, You gave us wind; And You turn Your back to us; As though You will not listen to us.” This appeal is portrayed in the powerful movements of three couples, who are occupied with the sowing, planting, and threshing of the barren Catalonian land.

Tonight as it gets cold tell yourself what you know which is nothing

but the tune your bones play as you keep going. And you will be able for once to lie down under the small fire of winter stars. And if it happens that you cannot go on or turn back and you find yourself where you will be at the end, tell yourself in that final flowing of cold through your limbs that you love what you are.

CHOREOGRAPHER PROFILES Nacho Duato, born in Valencia, Spain, started professional ballet training with the Rambert School in London at eighteen, expanding studies at Maurice Béjart’s Mudra School in Brussels and completing his dance education at The Alvin Ailey American Dance Centre in New York. In 1980 Duato signed his first professional contract with the Cullberg Ballet in Stockholm and a year later Kylián brought him to the Nederlands Dans Theater in Holland, where he was quickly incorporated into company and repertoire. His first choreographic attempt in 1983 turned into a major success: Jardí Tancat to Spanish/Catalan music by compatriot María del Mar Bonet won him the first prize at the International Choreographic Workshop (Internationaler Choreographischer Wettbewerb) at Cologne. Duato has created more than a dozen works for the two companies of Nederlands Dans Theater and in 1988 was named Resident Choreographer next to Hans van Manen and Jiří Kylián. His ballets form part of the repertoire of companies like Paris Opera, Cullberg Ballet, Nederlands Dans Theater, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Deutche Opera Ballet, Australian Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet, Ballet Gulbenkian, Finish Opera Ballet, The Royal Ballet, The Singapore Ballet, Tulsa Ballet Theatre, Pacific Northwest Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, The Washington Ballet, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, North Carolina Dance Theatre, The Boston Ballet, The Gothemburg Ballet, The Royal Swedish Ballet, The Royal Danish Ballet, The Northen Ballet, Ballet du Capitole, Ballet du Rhin, Teatro Comunale Florence, National Ballet of Portugal, The Norweigian Ballet, National Theatre Tokio, The Universal Ballet, Stars Foundation Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Tulsa Ballet Theatre, Staats Theater Berlin, Bolshoi Ballet, etc. Since June 1990 and until July 2010 Nacho Duato was Artistic Director of Compañía Nacional de Danza (Madrid-Spain). In 1995 he received the grade of Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres which is annually given by the French Embassy in Spain. In 1998 the Spanish Government rewarded him the Golden Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts. At the Stuttgart Opera he was offered the Benois de la Danse, one of the most prestigious international awards for choreography, presented by the International Dance Association for his Ballet Multiplicity, Forms of Silence and Emptiness, in April, 2000. From January 2011 he was Artistic Director of Mikhailowsky Ballet (Saint Petersburgs-Russia). In 2014 He became Intendant and Artistic Director of Berlin State Ballet (Germany). Crystal Pite, choreographer and performer born in Terrace, British Columbia and raised on the Canadian west coast, is a former company member of Ballet British Columbia and William Forsythe’s Ballett Frankfurt.

In 2002, Pite formed the company Kidd Pivot, which integrates movement, original music, text and rich visual design, balancing sharp exactitude with irreverence and risk. Kidd Pivot tours nationally and internationally, performing critically acclaimed works including Dark Matters, Lost Action, The You Show and The Tempest Replica. Pite is the recipient of the Banff Centre’s Clifford E. Lee Award (1995), the Bonnie Bird North American Choreography Award (2004), the Isadora Award (2005), two Dora Mavor Moore Awards (2009 and 2012), a Jessie Richardson Theatre Award (2006) and the Governor General of Canada’s Performing Arts Award, Mentorship Program (2008).

Spring Series 2017

D L BO S E V MO Baker McKenzie is proud to sponsor Bold Moves for Bold Women. We have served as the Diversity Partner with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago for many years to support its work bringing together artists, art, and audiences to change lives through the experience of dance.

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.

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. Visit hubbardstreetdance.com to learn more.

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.

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. Jason D. Palmquist (Executive Director) joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in May 2007, after serving the arts community in Washington, D.C. for nearly 15 years. Palmquist began his career at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, completing his tenure there as vice president of dance administration. At the Kennedy Center, he oversaw multiple world-premiere engagements of commissioned works in dance, the formation and growth of the Suzanne Farrell Ballet and the inception in 1997 of the Millennium Stage, an award-winning, free daily performance series that to date has served more than 3 million patrons. Deeply enriching the Kennedy Center’s artistic programming, Palmquist successfully presented engagements of global dance companies including the Royal Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the Kirov Ballet, Paul Taylor Dance Company, American Ballet Theatre and New York City Ballet. Palmquist also managed the Kennedy Center’s television initiatives, including the creation of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and a prime-time special on NBC memorializing the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks. In 2004, he accepted the position of executive director at the Washington Ballet. 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.

Spring Series 2017

HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO 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. Lucas Crandall (Rehearsal Director) See Choreographer 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, 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.

ABOUT

HARRIS THEATER FOR MUSIC AND DANCE

The Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance is a 1,500-seat state-of-the art performance venue located in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Opened in November 2003, the nonprofit Harris Theater was the first multi-use performance venue built in downtown Chicago since 1929. Harris Theater serves as a unique national model of collaboration between the philanthropic community and performing arts organizations in music and dance. More than a decade later, the Theater features the most diverse offerings of any venue in Chicago, hosting local, national, and internationally renowned artists and ensembles. The Harris Theater is Chicago’s primary residence for music and dance, connecting diverse audiences with outstanding artists from across the city, the nation, and the world. The Theater’s activities fall under three central strategies: support for local music and dance companies, community engagement and educational programs, and presentation of national and international artists.

The Harris Theater’s original group of 12 resident companies has grown to include a wide range of diverse and exceptionally talented performing arts organizations, including internationally acclaimed Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Music of the Baroque, Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s MusicNow, and collaborations with Lyric Opera of Chicago, National Museum of Mexican Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and Columbia College Chicago. Through these partnerships, the Theater has earned national recognition as a distinctive model for collaboration, performance, and artistic advancement. The Harris Theater is also dedicated to presenting internationally acclaimed music and dance organizations to enhance its reputation as well as to help build audiences and provide collaboration opportunities for the Theater’s resident companies and community partners. Through the Harris Theater Presents series, the Theater has achieved widespread recognition as a vital cultural anchor in Chicago. Daniel Barenboim, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Renée Fleming, the Hamburg Ballet, Lang Lang, the New York City Ballet, the Paris Opéra Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet, Stephen Sondheim, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and many others have graced the Harris’ Elizabeth Morse Genius Stage through this series. Through its commitment to artistic excellence, collaboration, and inclusion, the Harris Theater’s community engagement and education programs seek to deepen understanding of the arts and our world. We inspire people of all ages and communities, and nurture the next generation of artists and audiences.
