Hubbard Street Dance Chicago Spotlight Ball 45: All Kinds of Beautiful

ALL KINDS OF BEAUTIFUL

A NOTE FROM OUR LEADERS

Welcome to Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s 45th Anniversary Spotlight Ball: All Kinds of Beautiful !

It is an honor to have you with us for a momentous occasion celebrating 45 incredible years of groundbreaking contemporary dance. This milestone anniversary also marks our triumphant return—to touring, to sold-out performances coast to coast, to expanded classroom programming, and to in-person studio events. What a wonderful feeling to be BACK... and we could not have done it without your unwavering support.

As the nation’s leading contemporary dance organization and a visionary launching pad for choreographers and dancers alike, we are proud to share that this year has been enriched by:

n Six world premieres by visiting choreographers, plus the announcement that globally-renowned choreographer Aszure Barton will be Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s Resident Artist for the next three seasons—a move that will infuse exciting new work into our dynamic existing repertory;

n Our award-winning education programming in classrooms, via community events, and through in-person and virtual student matinees. More than 4,000 students engaged with expertly prepared learning materials, used creative movement to connect with peers and access self-expression, and discovered valuable tools for integrating their bodies and brains, priming them for learning;

n Our top-tier summer intensive programs that train young dancers from around the globe and invigorate the future of contemporary dance. We embraced creativity and accessibility by holding a social media challenge for 2023 applicants, allowing finalists to bypass the usual audition process and “win” a spot this summer;

n And so much more that we’ll showcase at tonight’s Spotlight Ball!

We are grateful for your presence and your support on this joyous evening. Proceeds from the Spotlight Ball directly impact the important work above and help Hubbard Street Dance Chicago change lives through dance.

Thank you again for being here and please enjoy!

LOU CONTE, HSDC Founder, established the Lou Conte Dance Studio in Chicago in 1974 after a performing career including Broadway musicals. In 1977, he founded what is now Hubbard Street Dance Chicago with four dancers performing at senior citizens’ homes in Chicago. Originally the company’s sole choreographer, he developed relationships with worldrenowned choreographers as the company began to grow, adding bodies of work by a variety of artists. These relationships transformed HSDC into the internationally acclaimed repertoire company it is today. In the 1980s, Conte brought in several works by Lynne Taylor-Corbett, Margo Sappington and Daniel Ezralow. He continued to build HSDC’s repertoire by forging a key partnership with Twyla Tharp in the 1990s, acquiring seven of her works including an original work for the company. Conte further expanded the company’s repertoire to include European choreographers Jirí Kylián and Nacho Duato and Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin. These long-term relationships, along with Conte’s participation in selecting the company’s subsequent artistic director, paved the way for HSDC’s future. Throughout his 23 years as the company’s artistic director, Conte received numerous awards including the Chicago Dance Coalition’s inaugural Ruth Page Artistic Achievement Award in 1986, the Sidney R. Yates Arts Advocacy Award in 1995 and the Chicagoan of the Year award by Chicago magazine in 1999. He has been credited by many for helping raise Chicago’s international cultural profile and for creating a climate for dance in the city, where the art form now thrives.
