Summer Series 20154


Thank you for joining us to celebrate Alejandro Cerrudo’s continually creative residency at Hubbard Street. We’re looking forward to sharing this program with you.

Ever since our first performances in 1977, we have proudly been devoted to presenting a wide variety of contemporary choreography. That’s truer now than it’s ever been, as we’re currently adding new works to the repertoires of our main company and Hubbard Street 2 at the rate of about a dozen per year.

However, beginning with last year’s Spring Series featuring Jiří Kylián, we have set aside one program per season to focus on a single artist. This all-Cerrudo celebration is our second such evening and, October 15–18, 2015, we open Season 38 with three works by vanguard dancemaker William Forsythe: Quintett, N.N.N.N. and One Flat Thing, reproduced.

Forsythe and Kylián have each premiered more than 100 unique productions; presenting full evenings of their work only begins to illustrate the astonishing range of their ideas. In less than a decade, Alejandro himself has choreographed 14 original pieces for us, and his aesthetic continues to evolve. Some of his works lie firmly within the realm of dance-theater, while others are more abstract. These include large-scale, full-evening journeys like One Thousand Pieces, and intimate shorts such as Cloudless and PACOPEPEPLUTO.

As an artistic director, one of my greatest joys is guiding an audience along the path of getting to know an artist. Our new single-choreographer evenings are great opportunities to enhance and enrich this process, bringing to dancegoers an experience akin to visiting an exhibition at an art museum.

I hope you enjoy the broad spectrum of images within Alejandro Cerrudo’s work. I also hope to see all of you again during Season 38, for exciting new creations and existing works, by major choreographers as well as from the artists of our company.

Yours truly,

Glenn EdgertonArtistic DirectorHubbard Street Dance Chicago

Hubbard Street Staff and Board


Alejandro Cerrudo (dancer and 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. Thirteen 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 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.

SummerSeries 201519

inSide The SerieS: SeASOn 38Years in the making, our four Season 38 programs at the Harris Theater will take you on a rich journey around — and through — the world of contemporary dance.

We begin october 15–18, 2015 with our FAll SerieS dedicated to vanguard dancemaker William Forsythe, featuring the first production by a u.S. dance company of his 2002 men’s quartet, N.N.N.N., called “astonishingly intense” by Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times.

Luke Jennings, esteemed dance critic for London’s The Observer, describes N.N.N.N. as follows:

“Set on a bare stage with flat white lighting, the piece develops from a quizzical display of arm movements to a high-voltage chaos event, with kinetic impulses flying from dancer to dancer, whose amplified breath provides the soundtrack. it’s a riveting exposition of Forsythe’s boneless style and also of a typically Forsythian paradox: that the harder you strive for anti-structure, the more determinedly structure imposes itself. So amid the fluid convolutions, and the random-seeming focus-pulls directing our attention to the turn of a wrist or the heft of a shoulder, Forsythe permits us vestigial glimpses of earlier forms. Was that a flash of Paquita? of Pas de Quatre, or the Swan Lake cygnets? And the gestural heroics, the jeweled physical detailing: don’t we recognize in these the hand of the 19th-century St. Petersburg master, marius Petipa? ‘All is palimpsest,’ Forsythe tells us. The old ink bleeds through.”


The Fall Series also includes the Hubbard Street premiere of One Flat Thing, reproduced. First presented in Frankfurt, Germany in 2000, it was adapted in 2006 for the camera by Belgian filmmaker Thierry de Mey, and in 2009, became the basis for Synchronous objects, an interactive website developed at the ohio State university’s Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and design. For 14 dancers and 20 large, identical tables, One Flat Thing, reproduced is “a masterclass exemplifying the power of pure movement,” says The Guardian’s dance critic Judith Mackrell. Forsythe’s haunting 1993 work Quintett, in repertory at Hubbard Street since 2012, completes our season opener.

“I’m eagerly anticipating spotlighting Forsythe,” says Hubbard Street Artistic director Glenn edgerton, “with a program spanning 11 crucial years of his creative fortitude. From the post-balletic landscape of Quintett, to the intricate, almost scientific environments of One Flat Thing, reproduced and N.N.N.N., our Fall Series aims to open Chicago’s hearts and minds to this fascinating artist, whose work isn’t shown here often enough.”

“if dance only does what we assume it can do, it will expire. i keep trying to test the limits of what the word ‘choreography’ means.” —William Forsythe

december 10–13, 2015, our WinTer SerieS brings the first production by a u.S. dance company of Solo Echo by Crystal Pite, which “speaks of hope and holding on through the dark, as the dancers move as liquid,” says Amsterdam-based dance writer Lambrecht Wessels.

While snow falls gently and music by Brahms for cello and piano plays, “Solo Echo presents a man reckoning with himself at the end of his life,” explains Pite. “The character is echoed — copied, reiterated, by seven different dancers. He is portrayed through both male and female bodies, and through various physiques and strengths. each performer is a distinct and nuanced version of the character, and the connections between them evoke a man coming to terms with himself.”

Penny Saunders, who first joined Hubbard Street in 2004, returns to the company for Season 38 and creates a world premiere for the Winter Series. The talented early-career dancers of Hubbard Street 2 also perform during this program, in a world premiere by Chinese-American choreographer Yin Yue, selected this spring through our 16th annual International Commissioning Project. First performed in december 2014, trio Waxing Moon by robyn Mineko Williams returns for the Winter Series. “Williams, who danced with Hubbard Street for 12 years, has grown into a choreographer of great sophistication and power,” writes Hedy Weiss of the Chicago Sun-Times, while Miriam Finder of Gapers Block notes that “this is the type of dancing viewers get lost in,” and Laura Molzahn of the Chicago Tribune calls Waxing Moon “breathtaking.”

“There’s so much to be learned from that unspoken, wordless language of the body. And i find that endlessly fascinating and illuminating.” —Crystal Pite

Season 38 continues March 17–20, 2016 with our Spring SerieS and yet another original work. rehearsal director Lucas Crandall, creator of witty and lighthearted Hubbard Street premieres such as Gimme and The Set, returns to the choreographer’s chair early next year. We’ll unveil his latest alongside Gustavo ramírez Sansano’s thrilling, fast-paced I am Mister B; Crystal Pite’s solo A Picture of You Falling; and the allegorical, theatrical world of resident Choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo’s The Impossible.


our 2015–16 season concludes next June 9–12 with our Summer SerieS, right here at the Harris Theater, with an encore presentation of The Art of Falling, created and produced in partnership with The Second City. (The Art of Falling also plays Los Angeles this fall, as part of the Glorya Kaufman Presents dance series at the Music Center.) Braided around themes of risk-taking and letting go, three storylines follow the adventures of six unforgettable main characters, interspersed with improvised scenes, musical numbers, and hilarious vignettes.

Named to “best of 2014” lists by the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times and Newcity, and lauded by dance and theater critics throughout Chicago, The Art of Falling was declared “hugely entertaining and strikingly emotional,” and “not-to-be-missed” by Tribune chief theater critic Chris Jones. The production “has real legs,” wrote Hedy Weiss for the Sun-Times, “a buoyant spirit counterbalanced by a genuine sense of gravity.” Kris Vire, associate editor and chief theater critic at Time Out Chicago, said “it’s hard to imagine a more seamless marriage.”

Choosing a subscription to Season 38 at Hubbard Street is the only way to guarantee great seats for The Art of Falling, the Spring Series, Solo Echo, and our full evening of Forsythe.

About Hubbard StreetHubbard 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 37th season in 2014–15, Hubbard Street continues to be an innovative force, supporting its creative talent while presenting repertory 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.

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 three-pronged strategy for building repertoire, the Choreographic Development Initiative, aimed at being a national model for artistic development while proactively diversifying contemporary concert dance.

Partnerships with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago 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 and Victor Quijada.

The main company’s 18 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 2, its second company for early-career artists, was founded in 1997 by Conte and Julie Nakagawa. Now directed by Terence Marling, HS2 cultivates young professional dancers, identifies next-generation choreographers, and performs domestically and abroad in service of arts education, collaboration, experimentation and audience development.

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.

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.

lou Conte (Founder), 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.

The Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance is a 1500-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’s primary mission is to partner with an array of Chicago’s music and dance performing arts organizations to help them build the resources and infrastructure necessary to achieve artistic growth and long-term organizational sustainability. The Harris Theater’s original group of 12 resident companies has grown to include 35 diverse and exceptionally talented performing arts organizations, including internationally acclaimed Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Music of the Baroque, Chicago Opera Theater, 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.
