Hubbard Street Dance Chicago

For Program A, the company’s “brisk and hot-blooded” (Washington Post) dancers perform Nacho Duato’s first work, Jardi Tancat; Crystal Pite’s fierce Grace Engine; Alejandro Cerrudo’s slow, tender Silent Ghost; and William Forsythe’s quartet N.N.N.N. Program B features the Bay Area premiere of a new collaboration by two twentysomethings redefining what it means to make dances today—Emma Portner, who has become a sensation for her imaginative viral dance videos; and Lil Buck, who brings the street to the stage as the foremost practitioner of jookin, a vibrant urban dance form that originated in Memphis during the 1990s.
