Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is committed to keeping its dancers creating and finding innovative ways to share exceptional contemporary dance with the community, and their recent acclaimed series of films did just that. These three short film explorations were produced after the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 and presented free to the public as part of Hubbard Street’s Season 43: A Virtual Homecoming.

A Tale of Two by Princess Grace Award-winning choreographer Rena Butler is filled with tension and tenderness, reflecting the vulnerability of youth in a violent world. In Half of Us, former Hubbard Street Dancer and Princess Grace Award-winner Robyn Mineko Williams creates a mesmerizing ebb and flow of melody and movement, as two dancers and two musicians merge their artistry upon a lonely landscape. Ended When, a cinematic solo, features an excerpt of Mineko Williams’ popular work, Cloudline.

This event will be captioned, with other accessibility services available upon request.

Solo, w/ You
Solo, w/ You is my summary as an individual, but longing to be with you (audience, family, friend, partner, mentor, peer, new face). I have created these dance pieces by remembering those that came before and those yet to come. Much like life, I hold a space for a small amount of time (45 minutes) until we are in the next chapter – solo, but together.

September 17 and 18, 2021
7:00PM CST
Doors open at 6:45PM CST

Solo, contigo

Solo, w/ You es un resumen de mi mismo como individual, pero anhelando estar contigo (audiencia, familia, amigo, compañero, mentor, nuevo rostro). He creado estas piezas de danza recordando las que vinieron antes y las que están por venir. Al igual que en la vida, mantengo un espacio por una pequeña cantidad de tiempo (45 minutos) hasta que estemos en el próximo capítulo – solos, pero juntos.

Each year, three exceptional Minnesota dance artists receive the coveted honor of a McKnight Dancer Fellowship. SOLO celebrates the 2018 and 2019 recipients with new works expressly tailored for these exceptional performers. The result is an evening of six fascinating world premieres. In 2021, these solos exist as dance films. Join us for the in-person screening premiere at The Cowles Center, or find SOLO online via livestream or on-demand showing.

SOLO fellows and their commissioned choreographers include:

• • Renée Copeland – Choreographer: Erika Bettin, Italy
  • Sharon Mansur – Co-directors: Yara Boustany, Lebanon; Andrea Shaker, MN; Mette Loulou van Kohl, NY
  • Yeniel “Chini” Perez Domenech – Choreographer: Ephrat Asherie, NY
  • Erin Thompson – Choreographer: Bebe Miller, OH
  • Joseph “MN Joe” Tran – Choreographer: Rudi Goblen, CT
  • Elayna Waxse – Choreographer: Bobbi Jene Smith, NY

Re-inventing the Bond themes for belly dance? WHY NOT?! We have a License to Thrill.

Our dancers will perform solos and duets with local musicians Phil Belknap, David Burk, John Croarkin, Rebecca Dudley, Laura Harada, Tim O’Keefe, and vocalist Laurie Etchen to re-imagine James Bond theme music; adding new instruments, rhythms, and dancers to some Bond favorites like Live and Let Die, Goldfinger, and Skyfall, to name a few.

This was made possible by grants from MSAB Creative Support and Lake Street Council COVID Relief.
