Hubbard Street Dance Chicago has evolved into one of the world’s most important
contemporary dance companies, providing artistic leadership through the creation
of innovative work by today’s leading choreographers, performed by the best dancers
in the field.
Hubbard Street is a significant gem in the cultural life of Chicago. During our 32nd
season, our top institutional priority was to strengthen and grow our presence at home.
No matter how far we travel, we are always eager to return to Chicago.
This past year, we took several steps to demonstrate this investment in our home city:
■
For the first time, HSDC performed four distinct series at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, allowing
Chicago audiences to see the main company throughout the year.
■
We built a new partnership with the Art Institute of Chicago, adding to the company’s collaborations with
major Chicago cultural institutions, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Illinois Institute of
Technology College of Architecture.
■
We achieved our goal to bring dance to the community across all ages and abilities with the debut of our
Family Workshop Series.
We continued to strengthen our local presence by providing performances by Hubbard Street 2; offering our
Education & Community Programs in Chicago Public Schools and Oak Park; and attracting our neighbors to
open houses and classes at the Lou Conte Dance Studio.
Transition in artistic leadership defined the close of our season when Jim Vincent accepted an appointment
as Artistic Director of Nederlands Dans Theater. Jim continued moving the company forward artistically,
collaboratively and institutionally, while remaining true to Founder Lou Conte’s original vision to present the best
in contemporary dance.
Among an impressive international roster of candidates, the ideal leader to succeed Jim came from within the
company’s current artistic team: Glenn Edgerton. Glenn came to HSDC with significant international experience,
then spent a year and a half as our Associate Artistic Director. Glenn’s vision is to have “all roads of dance intersect
at Hubbard Street,” with an emphasis on creativity, innovation and collaboration. He strongly wishes to continue
presenting cutting-edge choreographic works and cultivating unique partnerships and shares the board’s desire
to strengthen our Chicago presence.
These artistic and institutional developments occurred within the landscape of a challenging economic environment.
Like many arts organizations, we confronted a dramatic drop in revenue as the economic downturn impacted our
donors and audience members. The company’s leadership remained committed to advancing innovative choreography and investing in the cultural life of Chicago—even as we aggressively responded to declining revenues by
cutting nearly $1 million from our $7.4 million anticipated budget. By collaborating as a team and finding ways to
work more efficiently, we maintained $9.5 million in assets, in spite of our operating deficit, while preserving our
artistic programs and the company’s mission.
On behalf of the board, I’d like to express our excitement as we anticipate working with Glenn, Executive Director
Jason Palmquist, the artistic and administrative staff—and our incomparable dancers. We thank our donors and
patrons, without whom we would not have achieved such extraordinary success. Especially in these difficult economic
times, your contributions are meaningful and appreciated. Chicago is and always will be our “home sweet home.”

SPANNING ALL AGES
HSDC recognizes its responsibility to its community, offering opportunities to enhance the lives of dance enthusiasts
and students of all ages, skill levels and abilities.
With public and in-school performances by Hubbard Street 2 (HS2), in-school residencies and after-school
programs, HSDC Education & Community Programs provide year-round arts access for students, teachers and
families in primarily low- to moderate-income communities. During the 2008–09 season, these programs reached
nearly 20,000 students, teachers and community members:
■
2,333 students in kindergarten through sixth grade participated in long-term residency programs.
■
272 educators participated in HSDC professional development workshops.
■
104 children participated in after-school programs.
■
6,097 students attended interactive performances by HS2.
■
More than 14,000 people attended HS2’s community performances.
Among the year’s new developments in our school programs:
■
Our first-ever panel of principals, held at the annual Education Tea, spoke about the ways dance has
changed their schools.
■
Greeley and Pulaski schools piloted “Performance As Curriculum”: HS2 dancers taught the students portions
of repertoire, which the students then used as a jumping-off point to create a new work together with the dancers.
■
Teaching artists on tour with both companies presented professional development workshops and
after-school programming in Indianapolis and St. Joseph, Minnesota.

STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS
In an effort to invest more comprehensively in the Chicagoland community, HSDC added three new programs:
■
The Family Workshop Series welcomed parents and children ages three through eight to participate in dance
movement at Chicago-area cultural settings, including the Art Institute of Chicago (downtown), Chicago
Botanic Garden (North Shore), Hubbard Street Dance Center (West Loop) and the Center on Halsted (Lakeview).
■
Dance Explorations family movement workshops, a collaboration between HSDC’s Education & Community
Programs and the Chicago Park District, reached underserved families in six Chicago neighborhoods.
■
Discover Dance, a one-week summer camp, introduced students to the world of contemporary dance.
Hubbard Street 2 continues to be the institution’s primary vehicle for reaching out to underserved communities,
performing throughout Chicago for all partner schools and at libraries and park district facilities.
To engage with another part of our community, HSDC’s Dance for Parkinson’s, a program to maintain and improve
the physical capacity of Parkinson’s patients through dance, continued after a successful launch last year.
The Lou Conte Dance Studio (LCDS), founded in 1974 by Lou Conte, is an open-enrollment school offering more
than 70 classes weekly, from basic to professional, in ballet, jazz, modern, tap, hip hop, African, Pilates and yoga.
■
■
LCDS offered Open Houses three times this year to introduce Chicago neighbors to its offerings, featuring free
beginner-level classes and discounts on merchandise and performance tickets.

JIM VINCENT: AN ARTISTIC RETROSPECTIVE
The 2008–09 season concluded with the departure of Jim Vincent, who was named artistic director of Nederlands
Dans Theater. As only the second artistic director in HSDC’s history, Vincent joined the organization in 2000, creating
new work for the company’s repertoire and recruiting impressive talent for the company and the artistic staff. He
enhanced the company’s relationships with domestic and international choreographers and introduced new
choreographic development initiatives, which have become staples of HSDC’s programming: the “Inside/Out”
Choreographic Workshop allows HSDC dancers to create original choreography with their peers, and the
Choreographic Fellowship identifies and cultivates emerging choreographic talent.
Under Vincent’s tenure, HSDC began collaborative partnerships with several of Chicago’s most significant
cultural and community organizations, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, presenting new and existing
choreography set to orchestral music performed by the symphony; the Art Institute of Chicago, producing dance
works within art exhibits and providing free information sessions to the public to explore the vital connection
between dance and art; and the Illinois Institute of Technology School of Architecture, reimagining the space in
which dance is performed.

FINANCIALS
Beginning in FY08, HSDC embarked on a strategic plan for growth, making several investments that resulted in
gains in earned and, initially, contributed revenues. However, the economic downturn experienced throughout the
country has led to decreases in contributions along with substantial unrealized investment losses. Additionally,
increases in earned revenue were not enough to reach original income goals given the current economic climate.
HSDC responded aggressively by reducing expenses by 13% (nearly $1 million) in FY09 and was able to contain
the deficit to $1.34 million. The company had a short-term credit facility available to fund this deficit; therefore,
in spite of this difficult time, the company still has significant assets, including our $5 million West Loop facility
and $3 million in endowment assets.
