Hubbard Street presents two premieres November 17 - 20
The weekend's events include a Friday Balcony Talk and Sunday's The First Dance.
Hubbard Street Chicago announces the Season 39 Fall Series with a world premiere piece by 2013 Guggenheim Fellow and inaugural Harris Theater Choreographer in Residence Brian Brooks, as well as Hubbard Street Resident Choreographer Alejndro Cerrudo's 15th original work for the company.
Hubbard Street Artistic Director Glenn Edgerton said in a recent press release, "Creating new work is at the core of what we do. I am excited to share two world premiere works and two masterworks with our home audience in Chicago by three choreographers who have inspired our dancers and audiences. Alejandro Cerrudo has been Resident Choreographer with the company since 2009. Alejandro continues to challenge himself and the dancers—this will be a significant work using the creativity of the entire company. Having Brian Brooks, the Inaugural Choreographer in Residence for the Harris Theater working in our studios has been terrific. Brian's movement quality is unique which again challenges our dancers in new ways. Having the work of these choreographers on the same program as Jiří Kylián, an artist whose work we have a long affinity with shows the range of the company's abilities and connects Kylián’s classics with today’s outstanding artists."
