Global choreographer Nacho Duato, whose work the Chicago Tribune calls “gorgeously classical and pertly idiosyncratic,” created Gnawa exclusively for Hubbard Street in 2005. Set to evocative music by Hassan Hakmoun and Adam Rudolph, this vibrant ensemble work taps the Mediterranean spirit of North Africa and Duato’s native Spain. Costumes for Gnawa are by Modesto Lomba, chairman of the Spanish Fashion Designers’ Association.

Created for and premiered by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park, Chicago, IL, March 30, 2005.

Alejandro Cerrudo’s thirteenth work as Hubbard Street’s Resident Choreographer ricochets between dance and theater. Glimpsed at times as if through a prism or in a hall of mirrors, the scenes of The Impossible raise intriguing questions about memory, mortality, partnership and the human spirit.

Choreographed between 1986 and 1991, Jirí Kylián’s six “black and white” works are among the most influential in Western contemporary dance. In spring 2014, Hubbard Street added two of these works—Falling Angels (1989) and Sarabande (1990)—to three more already in the company’s repertoire: Petite Mort, Sechs Tänze and No More Play.

Eight women remain onstage throughout Falling Angels, a group continually fractured and recombined by the endlessly inventive patterning of Kylián’s choreography and lighting design, both keenly illustrative of Steve Reich’s phased-percussion score.

Created for and premiered by Nederlands Dans Theater at the AT&T Danstheater, Den Haag, the Netherlands, 1989. First performed by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park, Chicago, IL, March 13, 2014. Music by Steve Reich: Drumming: Part I, from the album Drumming for Nonesuch Records. By arrangement with Hendon Music, Inc., a Boosey & Hawkes company, publisher and copyright owner. Falling Angels is sponsored by Sara Albrecht and Richard L. Rodes. Additional support is provided by Choreographer’s Circle Member Sarah J. Nolan.

PROGRAM CONTINUED

ABOUT THE ARTISTSHubbard 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, Jirí 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 now begins the creative process for two weeks annually devoted to premieres at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago’s Edlis Neeson Theater. Partnerships with the CSO, Art Institute of 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 Mats Ek, Sharon Eyal, Alonzo King and Victor Quijada.

The main company’s eighteen members comprise one of the only ensembles in the US to perform all year long, domestically and around the world, while a nationally renowned Summer Intensive Program brings young artists into its ranks. Hubbard Street 2, its second company for young professional artists, was founded in 1997 by Conte and Julie Nakagawa. Now directed by Terence Marling, HS2 appears throughout the United States and overseas, often in service of dance education through master classes and workshops.

Hubbard Street’s Education and Community Programs are nationwide benchmarks for arts experience and appreciation in schools, impacting the lives of thousands of students. In 2009, Hubbard Street launched Youth and Family Programs to teach dance with an emphasis on creative expression. Adaptive Dance Programs welcome people on the autism spectrum, with Parkinson’s and physical disabilities to find new ways of moving at Hubbard Street. The Lou Conte Dance Studio—where Hubbard Street began—has been training the next generation of artists and dance enthusiasts, at all ages and skill levels, since 1974. This is Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s first engagement at the Hopkins Center.

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 Jiri 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 three million patrons. Deeply enrich-ing 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.

Lucas Crandall rehearsal director began his dance career with the Milwaukee Ballet in 1979. In 1980, he joined the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, then directed by Oscar Aráiz. Under the direction of Jirí Kylián, he danced with Nederlands Dans Theater for two years before returning to Geneva, as soloist and later rehearsal assistant, under the direction of Gradimir Pankov. Crandall has performed and originated roles in works by notable choreographers including Aráiz, Kylián, Christopher Bruce, Nacho Duato, Mats Ek, Rui Horta, Amanda Miller and Ohad Naharin. In 2000, Crandall returned to the US to join Hubbard Street Dance Chicago as associate artistic director and staff at the Lou Conte Dance Studio. His teaching and coaching career includes residencies at various US universities; master classes and repertory workshops, both domestically and abroad; and guest positions at companies including Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, Northwest Professional Dance Project, and the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève. Crandall’s choreographic work includes multiple premieres for Hubbard Street (Atelier, Gimme, The Set) and new works for Northwest Dance Project and Thodos Dance Chicago. Crandall was recently rehearsal director for Nederlands Dans Theater’s main company for three years, under the directorships of Paul Lightfoot and former Hubbard Street artistic director Jim Vincent. Crandall returned to Hubbard Street as Rehearsal Director in April 2013.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS CONTINUED

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 US as well as in Australia, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands; touring engage-ments 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 Whelan’s Restless Creature, touring the US and London.

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 Jirí 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. 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.

Nacho Duato choreographer, born in Valencia, Spain, began training at London’s Rambert School at age 18, expanding his studies at Maurice Béjart’s Mudra School in Brussels, and completing his dance education at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center in New York City. He joined Sweden’s Cullberg Ballet in 1980 and, the following year, Nederlands Dans Theater in the Hague. From 1990 to 2010, after a successful career as dancer and resident choreographer for NDT 1, Duato was artistic director of Compañía Nacional de Danza under the Spanish Ministry of Culture’s Instituto Nacional de las Artes Escénicas y de la Música. Duato relocated to Russia in 2011, becoming artistic director at the Mikhailovsky Ballet in St. Petersburg, and will be artistic director of Staatsballett Berlin beginning with the 2014–15 season while remaining with the Mikhailovsky Theatre as choreographer-in-residence. Duato’s acclaimed choreography is performed worldwide by companies including

the Australian Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, the Cullberg Ballet, the Finnish Opera Ballet, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, London’s Royal Ballet, Nederlands Dans Theater, the Paris Opéra Ballet, San Francisco Ballet and Stuttgart Ballet. For his achievements as a dancer, Duato received the VSCD Gouden Dansprijs (Golden Dance Award) in 1987; recognition for his creative work includes first prize at Germany’s International Choreographic Workshop (1983), the rank of Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres from the French Embassy in Spain (1995), a Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts from the Spanish government (1998), and a Prix Benois de la Danse (Stuttgart, 2000).

Jirí Kylián choreographer was born in 1947 in Prague, Czechoslovakia. He enrolled in the School of the National Ballet Prague at age nine and, in 1962, was accepted into the Prague Conservatory, where he trained with Zora Semberova and other instructors, and created his first two works of choreography. In 1967, Kylián received a scholarship to study at the Royal Ballet School in London, where he met choreographer John Cranko, who invited Kylián to join Germany’s Stuttgart Ballet. Kylián remained with the company as a dancer and choreographer through Cranko’s sudden passing in 1973 and the subsequent direction of choreographer Glen Tetley. After creating three works for Nederlands Dans Theater as a guest choreographer, Kylián joined the company as co-artistic director, with Hans Knill. The creation of Sinfonietta for NDT to perform at the Spoleto Festival–USA in 1978 heralded Kylián’s arrival as a major international artist; his Symphony of Psalms premiered the same year. In the early 1980s, Kylián’s travels to Australia to study aboriginal dances inspired new ideas in his choreography and the works Stamping Ground

and Dream Time. Kylián and NDT’s founding managing director Carel Birnie created a second ensemble, NDT 2, for early-career artists, and between 1980 and 2000, NDT 1 commissioned Christopher Bruce, Mats Ek, William Forsythe, Ohad Naharin and many more, in addition to presenting masterworks by Hans van Manen, Glen Tetley and others. In 1990, he launched NDT 3, for accomplished dancers over the age of 40. Kylián passed the artistic directorship of NDT’s three ensembles to the next generation of leadership in 1999 while remaining choreographer for the company through 2009. Kylián has created more than 100 original works to date; recent projects include the film Between Entrance & Exit (2013). Kylián’s honors and recognitions include the ranks of Commander of the Legion of Honor (France) and Officer of the Order of Oranje Nassau (the Netherlands), a Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Venice Biennale, three Nijinsky Awards for Choreography (Monaco), two Prix Benois de la Danse prizes (Moscow, Berlin), two Sir Laurence Olivier Awards (London), a Knight’s Cross from President Aleksander Kwasniewski (Poland), a cultural award for Arts and Sciences from Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, a Golden Medal for Outstanding Merits from President Václav Havel of the Czech Republic, honorary doctorates from the Juilliard School (United States) and the Music Academy Prague (Czech Republic), La Medaille d’Or from the city of Lyon (France), an award for Exceptional Achievements in Choreography and Dance (Czech Ministry of Culture), an Angel Award from the Edinburgh International Festival, the First Cultural Award of the City of the Hague (the Netherlands), a Dance Magazine Award, a Carina Ari Medal (Stockholm), the Dvorák Award (Prague), the West End Theatre Award (London), the Hans Christian Andersen Ballet Award (Copenhagen) and the Prix Italia for Video (Torino).

tHu | jul 10 | 8 PM | SPaulDing auDitOriuMFrom his omnivorous musical tastes, killer chops and beguiling whimsy, singer/

songwriter/violinist Bird crafts a unique style that’s won him a devoted international following. Here fresh from Tennessee’s Bonnaroo Festival, he and his old-timey acoustic string band Hands of Glory go back to rootsy basics with sinuous fiddling, “high lonesome” vocals and old-soul original songs—embellished now and then by Bird’s virtuosic whistling. Opening for Bird is ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers bandmate Jimbo Mathus and his Tri-State Coalition, a born-in-the-bone Southern roots music ensemble.
