The Harris Theater for Music and Dance resides on the traditional homelands of the Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations. Many other tribes such as the Miami, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac, and Fox have also called this area home. The region has long been a center for Indigenous people to gather, trade, and maintain kinship ties. Today, one of the largest urban American Indian communities in the United States resides in Chicago, and members of this community continue to contribute to the life and culture of this city.
To learn more about the practice of land acknowledgement and the importance of honoring native land, visit usdac.us. The Chicagoland region is home to over 65,000 American Indians and the country’s oldest urban-based Native membership community center, American Indian Center Chicago (AIC). Visit aicchicago.org to learn more about AIC’s mission to foster physical and spiritual health in the community, an active connection with traditional values and practices, stronger families with multigenerational bonds, and a rising generation of educated, articulate, and visionary youth.
My beautiful people— Thank you for warming up your winter with us here at the Harris Theater, our Chicago home. Not even sub-zero temperatures could keep our Dancers and artists from the dance studio, constantly creating, experimenting, and finessing this program just for you.
Can you believe it has been over 20 years since Hubbard Street has done Ohad Naharin’s Black Milk here in Chicago? We are thrilled that our partnership with Ohad continues to this day, and we can’t wait for you to experience this athletic, enthralling work.
Of course, we had to bring back last season’s mesmerizing commission Into Being by FLOCK, made up of co-choreographers and Hubbard Street alumni Alice Klock and Florian Lochner. We follow that with this year’s first World Premiere, Within the Frame by the indomitable James Gregg, whose work reimagines what contemporary dance can be.
To close the program, we present the fantastical IMPASSE by Johan Inger. If you are experiencing this piece for the first time—hold onto your seats!
We hope you enjoy the program, and we are delighted to have you with us.
Yours in motion,
Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell
Artistic Director
Thank you to our Season Partners

Hubbard Street Dance Chicago recognizes the generosity of The Sandra and Jack Guthman Resident Company Artistic Collaboration Fund and the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, Lead Sponsors of IMPASSE by Johan Inger
The mission of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is to awaken the human spirit through contemporary dance.
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. Glenn Edgerton became Artistic Director in 2009 and, together with Palmquist, moved this legacy forward on multiple fronts.
In 2021, former company dancer Linda-Denise Fisher-Harrell was named the fourth Artistic Director of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Season 44: RE/CHARGE marked her debut season as the artistic leader of the organization, with the goal of continuing to diversify the company’s repertoire and ensemble while building on the incredible legacy and reputation that HSDC has already established. Along with David McDermott, Executive Director since 2017, the company is looking forward to expanding its audience reach and increasing the local, national, and global reputation of Hubbard Street.
For 47 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 present. To date, the main company has performed globally in 19 countries and 44 U.S. states.
At home in Chicago, Hubbard Street performs 20 times a year and delivers renowned education programs in 50 classrooms across 17 Chicagoland schools. HSDC Education utilizes the choreographic process to teach essential problemsolving skills, creativity, and collaboration—expanding our reach beyond traditional concert dance audiences, ensuring that everyone has access to worldclass dance and instruction.

IMPASSE investigates our shared humanity by illuminating how societal pressures contribute to the loss of self. Obsession with “newness” and the seductions of peer pressure prohibit us from meaningful growth. The paradox of this is that together we are stronger as a community; alone, we are less.

Levy started her career in the theater, very quickly, and had the opportunity to design costumes for independent choreographers and local bands. There she met Ohad Naharin, and they worked together for many years. At the same time, Levy received offers from Israeli television, and also fell in love with working in the studios. Because of her close connection to music, she received a musical education from a young age, and to this day plays the same alto saxophone, jazz big band, and even in the Philharmonic in a series of concerts conducted by Luciano Brio.

She received an offer to direct an opera at the Israeli Operahouse, Rossini’s Chenerantula, which received wide exposure - especially since his determination made it possible for people of all ages to watch for the first time in their lives to be exposed to the operatic medium in the periphery.

His works have been recorded over the years by dozens of artists from the U. S., Europe, Australia, and the Far East. Perhaps his best known marimba composition, “Rhythm Song”, is arguably among the most popular works ever written for the instrument.

We are honored to bring Ohad Naharin’s Black Milk—a thrilling showcase for 5 male-bodied dancers—back to the stage after more than 20 years since its Hubbard Street Company Premiere in 2002.
Described then as “alternately creamy, alternately combative” and “[performed with] ferocity and style” by the Chicago Tribune, we are thrilled to give this piece new life with a new generation of Hubbard Street Dancers.
Alice Klock and Florian Lochner—a choreographic duo known together as FLOCK—met while dancing at Hubbard Street, a combined 14 years of experience at HSDC between the two of them. Now returning to where they got their start as Choreographic Fellows, FLOCK shares insights on the process of making their mesmerizing new work.
How did you approach the process of creating this new work with Hubbard Street?
FLORIAN: We always like to go in not prepared with the movement because we love seeing the dancers add to our movement language and get their uniqueness out of them.
ALICE: They have really adapted to our partnering very well. We have a very intricate partnering style that we perform. It feels very personal and kind of hard to translate because it’s so specifically us. But these dancers have really picked up on it even more than we thought they would. We’ve been able to like push the partnering to another level of intricacy.
FLORIAN: Yeah, we really were able to go crazy—even crazier than what we normally do—because we saw that they are able to take it and they just pushed for it.
What are your hopes for the audience experience of Into Being?
FLORIAN: A goal of our work is always to give the audience this sensation of all the feelings, all the ups and downs in life. They should just be open, like dive into it. I don’t know if there’s something specific to look for, but more like a feeling we hope to give them.
ALICE: Yes, exactly. I feel like this piece for us, it has an interesting momentum. There’s sort of this inevitable energy that is there, an inescapable hurtling towards something. I hope that the audience gives in to that momentum and lets it take them to wherever it concludes. People will maybe arrive in a different place, but let the ride take you somewhere.

Genre-defying choreographer James Gregg discusses his influences and the inspiration behind his world premiere, Within the Frame.
What can you tell us about the inspiration behind Within the Frame?
Art imitates life. It’s about a cycle. When I was talking about the work to the Dancers, it’s like you keep trying to put on a different suit to make things work, and your armor gets taken off - and then you try to recalibrate yourself, come in with a different attitude. “How can you recreate yourself, and then find trust?”
Tell us about your experience working with the Hubbard Street Dancers. They brought me in to do a duet... so now, I made it a quartet! (laughs) That was a surprise, I didn’t think that was going to happen. But I wanted to keep the energy at a top vibration.
All the Dancers are very different, and I love when I throw things at them, that they put themselves on top of the movement - which then makes the language of the piece. These Dancers put on the things that I give them, and elevate it to a new perspective.

“How do we bridge the gap that grows as we stagnate?”
Hubbard Street is proud to have been the first company to perform IMPASSE since its world premiere by NDT2 at Nederlands Dans Theater in 2020.
This dynamic piece by Johan Inger explores themes of isolation, peer pressure, and “newness” with urgency and verve.
Stager Fernando Hernando Magadan worked with the Company Dancers for three weeks in April to breathe life into this iteration of the piece, and had this to say about the process:
“This very theatrical piece requires presence, requires interpretation, it requires sensitivity, it requires feeling the real thing—and they [the Hubbard Street Dancers] are really professionals!”
