We created this work last season in honor of our 35th anniversary. Lou Conte founded Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in 1977, the same year Chagall gave these magnificent stained glass windows to the city of Chicago. Our expression of Chagall’s work references the windows’ panels, which honor the fine arts of dance, literature, music, painting and theater. Using the medium of dance, One Thousand Pieces integrates them all, aided by a captivating lighting scheme by Michael Korsch, in concert with the sharply tailored set and costume designs of Thomas Mika. Add to these a score conveying the range of one of the most honored artistic voices of our time: Philip Glass. More than a year since the debut of One Thousand Pieces, I’m still struck by the creativity and elegance with which our Resident Choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo has paid tribute to the America Windows. His creation is full of ideas and ingenuity, and yet all of these elements are part of an integrated vision in the spirit of Marc Chagall’s imagination. I encourage you to stay with us in the new year. In March, we’ll present the first program we’ve devoted to a single choreographer, and dive into the prolific career of Jiří Kylián through four great dances made between 1989 and 2001. Then in June, we’ll again challenge our ability to be authentically multilingual, with three works quite diverse in construction and character — one of which will be Alejandro Cerrudo’s 13th premiere for us. Season 36 at Hubbard Street is the kind of adventure we live for as dance artists. One Thousand Pieces is an adventure all on its own. Enjoy!

It is something elevating and exhilarating.” —Marc Chagall Terence Marling Director, Hubbard Street 2 Lucas Crandall Rehearsal Director Kristen Brogdon General Manager Alejandro Cerrudo Resident Choreographer Claire Bataille Director, Lou Conte Dance Studio Joseph Futral Production Manager Ishanee DeVas Company Manager Matt Miller Lighting and Technical Director Rebecca M.

Used by permission. hubbardstreetdance.com 7 Q&A with Alejandro Cerrudo, choreographer of One Thousand Pieces Where does the choreographic process start for you? Excitement. Then I look for music. After I find the music, I panic. [Laughs] And then I keep thinking and dreaming. I really try to just be silly in my head, be over-the-top in my head — even tacky, if I need to be. I allow myself all of that. Then I make choices. How are you responding to Chagall’s America Windows? The evening is inspired by the windows, but I’m not making them in dance. I might give you another perspective. You might look at the windows in a different way, after you see my piece. That would be a huge compliment. As a Spanish choreographer living and working in America, what do Chagall’s windows mean to you? People might think, “What’s this Spanish guy doing, making a work about America Windows?” But I feel completely comfortable. The windows aren’t [just] about America. They’re about character, painting, cultural freedom, celebration. They’re an homage and they were a gift. Chagall was a guest in this country and America treated him well. I’ve been adopted, in a way, by America, too. I’m not comparing myself with such an amazing artist as Chagall, but I’m very thankful to Chicago. I want to give a gift, too. What’s a priority in your process? One thing I’m always very aware of — and this comes from my experiences with [Spring Series choreographer Jiří] Kylián — is the atmosphere in the studio. Creating that perfect working environment, where everybody feels involved and appreciated and feels like they matter. I forget sometimes and just think, “This piece has to be good.” But it has to be fun, also. The more immersed you are in a creative environment, the more creative you’re going to be. How do you reconcile being a Hubbard Street dancer and its Resident Choreographer? I love dancing and I’m not ready to stop yet. It’s valuable to stay connected to how dancers feel, to what being a dancer is. The more you dance, the easier it is to grow as a choreographer.

He then moved to Europe, where he studied with the legendary pedagogue Nadia Boulanger and worked closely with sitar virtuoso and composer Ravi Shankar. He returned to New York in 1967 and formed the Philip Glass Ensemble, seven musicians playing keyboards and a variety of woodwinds, amplified and fed through a mixer. Through numerous compositions and wide-ranging collaborations with artists including Paul Simon, Linda Ronstadt, YoYo Ma, Twyla Tharp, Allen Ginsberg, Woody Allen, Doris Lessing and David Bowie, Glass has made an extraordinary impact upon the musical and intellectual life of our time. His ouevre includes more than 20 operas, ten symphonies, a growing body of work for solo piano and organ, two piano concertos and concertos for violin, piano, timpani, and saxophone quartet and orchestra. Glass has also written music for experimental theater, and for Academy Award–winning motion pictures such as The Hours and Kundun. He presents lectures, workshops and solo keyboard performances around the world, and continues to appear regularly with the Philip Glass Ensemble. Michael Korsch (Lighting Design) is a lighting and scenic designer based in Philadelphia, where he earned his BA in Theater at Temple University. Korsch has worked with numerous directors and choreographers, creating visual designs for dance and theater throughout North and South America, Europe, Australia and Asia. He has been resident lighting and scenic designer as well as technical director for Complexions Contemporary Ballet since 1998, resident lighting designer for Ballet Arizona since 2001, and lighting and technical director for the Laguna Dance Festival since 2005. In addition to One Thousand Pieces and his prior Hubbard Street premiere, Alejandro Cerrudo’s Little mortal jump (2012), Korsch has created designs for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, BalletMet, BalletX, Carolina Ballet, Cleveland Play House, DanceBrazil, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, Disney Creative Entertainment, English National Ballet, MOMIX, North Carolina Dance Theatre, Oakland Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, the Royal Danish Ballet, Sacramento Ballet, Staatsballett Berlin and the Washington Ballet, among others. Thomas Mika (Set and Costume Design) studied musical theater direction at the Academy of Music and Theatre in Hamburg, Germany, where he was born. He then began his career in the performing arts assisting director Dominik Neuner. Choreographers with whom Mika has worked include Edward Clug, Leo Mujic and Kevin O’Day; productions he’s designed include Derek Deane’s The Lady of the Camellias and John Cranko’s Onegin, presented internationally by companies including Stuttgart Ballet, the National Ballet of China and the Royal Ballet of Flanders. Mika also designed sets and costumes at Staatsballett Berlin in 2006, for OUT OF 99 by Leo Mujics. One Thousand Pieces is Mika’s first production design for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.

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 NDT1 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, 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. Terence Marling (Director, Hubbard Street 2), born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, trained at the Ruth Page School of Dance with renowned ballet teacher Larry Long. Following his professional work with Patricia Wilde and Terrence S. Orr at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, and at Germany’s Nationaltheater Mannheim with director and choreographer Kevin O’Day, Marling became a member of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. During 16 years onstage, he performed works by George Balanchine, Nacho Duato, Johan Inger, Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, Paul Taylor, Glen Tetley and others, originating numerous roles. Beginning in 2010 as Hubbard Street Rehearsal Director, Marling taught, coached and maintained works and premieres by Resident Choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo, Duato, Naharin, Aszure Barton, Mats Ek, William Forsythe, Alonzo King, Susan Marshall, Victor Quijada and Twyla Tharp. Marling’s own creations have been performed by Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre as well as both of Hubbard Street’s ensembles, and he co-choreographed with Robyn Mineko Williams the company’s first family-oriented production, Harold and the Purple Crayon: A Dance Adventure. Marling became Director of Hubbard Street 2 in April 2013. 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 Jiří 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.

His teaching and coaching career includes residencies at various U.S. 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. 14 Winter Series 2013 HUBBARD STREET DANCE CHICAGO Kristen Brogdon (General Manager) joined Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in July 2007, after nine years at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., where she first worked with Hubbard Street Executive Director Jason D. Palmquist. During her tenure at the Kennedy Center, Brogdon was responsible for programming the facility’s unparalleled ballet and contemporary dance season. She managed the Suzanne Farrell Ballet from its inception in September 2001 and was instrumental in the creation and growth of the Metro D.C. Dance Awards. Brogdon also created and produced a commissioning program for local choreographers, facilitating work by 20 artists from D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Prior to the Kennedy Center, she was the company manager and publicist for Li ChiaoPing Dance, a modern dance company based in Madison, Wisconsin. Brogdon holds a Master of Arts in Business with a concentration in Arts Administration from the University of Wisconsin and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Duke University. 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, Nederlands Dans Theater 2 and, since 2005, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. In 2008, Cerrudo was named Hubbard Street Choreographic Fellow and became the company’s first Resident Choreographer in 2009. His 12 works to date choreographed at Hubbard Street include unique collaborations with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Nederlands Dans Theater. These pieces and additional commissions are in repertory at companies in Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Australia and around the United States. Always dancing and constantly creating, Cerrudo was honored in 2011 with an award from the Boomerang Fund for Artists. In 2012, he received a Prince Prize for Commissioning Original Work from the Prince Charitable Trusts, for his first full-length work, One Thousand Pieces. Cerrudo’s forthcoming creation for Pacific Northwest Ballet is supported by the Joyce Theater Foundation’s Rudolf Nureyev Prize for New Dance. Claire Bataille (Director, Lou Conte Dance Studio) was a founding dancer with Hubbard Street from 1977 to 1992, performing works created by Lou Conte, Twyla Tharp, Lynne Taylor-Corbett, Daniel Ezralow, John McFall and Margo Sappington. She received the Ruth Page Award for Outstanding Dancer in 1992. From 1977 to 2001, Bataille also served the company as Assistant Artistic Director, Ballet Mistress and Rehearsal Director. She choreographed five works between 1978 and 1985 and toured nationally and internationally with Hubbard Street. Bataille began teaching at the Lou Conte Dance Studio in 1975 and has been teaching dance in Chicago ever since. In 2003, she earned her certification in the Pilates Method with Romana’s Pilates in New York. In 2005, Bataille was appointed Associate Director of the Lou Conte Dance Studio at the Hubbard Street Dance Center and became its Director in 2008. Kathryn Humphreys (Director, Education, Youth and Community Programs) joined Hubbard Street in 2002. As Education Director, she develops and implements dance education initiatives designed to improve teacher and teaching artist practice and collaboration to effect whole-school change and to further understanding of the role of dance in public education. With more than a decade of experience in arts education, her work supports local and national groups as they work to understand and implement dance education in public schools, utilizing the model developed by Humphreys at Hubbard Street. She holds an MA in Dance from Texas Woman’s University and consults locally and nationally on issues relating to dance education and research. 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. 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. hubbardstreetdance.com 15 SHOW THEM WHY THE CHICAGO WINTER IS WORTH IT...

Now in its 36th year, it 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.

Photo by Todd Rosenberg. 32 Winterl Series 2013 Christine Carrillo and Josef Pescetto in Nine Sinatra Songs by Twyla Tharp (1992). 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 danc(e)volve: New Works Festival, two weeks devoted to new work presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art. 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 and Sharon Eyal, Alonzo King and Victor Quijada. Edgerton named Alejandro Cerrudo the company’s first resident choreographer, and in the 35th Anniversary Season, commissioned him to create the company’s first full-evening production, One Thousand Pieces. The main company’s 18 members comprise one of the only ensembles in America 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, an eight-member ensemble 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 Youth, Education and Community Programs are benchmarks for arts outreach in schools and in their impact on the lives of thousands of students. In 2009, Hubbard Street launched youth and family programs to teach dance with an emphasis on creative expression. People with Parkinson’s are welcome to Hubbard Street to join the first dance classes in the Midwest for those affected by the disease. The Lou Conte Dance Studio — where Hubbard Street began — has been training the next generation of artists and dance enthusiasts since 1974, offering a wide range of classes for everyone, teens and adults, beginners to professionals.

Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park was the first multi-use performing arts venue to be built in the downtown Chicago area since 1929. Today, 10 years later, the Harris Theater is celebrating its first decade during the 2013-2014 season. The non-profit theater features the most diverse offerings of any venue in Chicago, hosting the city’s most acclaimed music and dance institutions as well as world-renowned national and international artists and ensembles through its Harris Theater Presents series. A core component of the Harris Theater’s mission is to partner and collaborate with an array of Chicago’s emerging and mid-sized performing arts organizations to help them build the resources and capacity necessary to achieve artistic growth and longterm organizational sustainability. In addition to providing subsidized rental, technical expertise and marketing support, the Harris Theater also offers ongoing professional development opportunities to its resident companies, including the innovative Learning Lab, which has been endorsed with grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 10 seasons, the Theater’s original group of 12 resident companies has grown to include 35 diverse and exceptionally talented performing arts organizations. Through these partnerships, the Harris Theater has earned national recognition as a unique model of collaboration between the philanthropic community, a performance venue, and its artistic community in residence. Through the Harris Theater Presents series, the Theater has achieved widespread recognition as a vital cultural anchor in the city. The Paris Opéra Ballet, Renée Fleming, Daniel Barenboim, the San Francisco Ballet, Stephen Sondheim, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Lang Lang, the New York City Ballet, Hamburg Ballet and many other world renowned artists and ensembles have all graced the Harris’ stage through this series. The Harris Theater is committed to presenting internationally acclaimed music and dance organizations in order to maintain its reputation as a venue of growing importance, as well as to help build audiences for the Theater’s resident companies. The Theater promotes engagement to advance access to and appreciation of the performing arts for Chicago residents of all ages and communities. Through the Access Tickets Program and arts education initiatives, the Harris Theater has provided over 6,000 complimentary tickets to 32 schools, community arts organizations and health and human services partners working with underserved constituencies. The Theater also provides opportunities for children, teens and families to connect with the world-class artists who appear on the Harris stage through master classes, artist discussions and other enrichment activities.
