Company Detail |
|
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago (HSDC) is an American dance company based in Chicago. HSDC performs in downtown Chicago and its metropolitan area and tours nationally and internationally throughout the year. The dancer and choreographer Lou Conte founded HSDC in 1977, and served as artistic director until his retirement in 2000. Originally HSDC's sole choreographer, with a particular focus on jazz dance, Conte developed relationships with both new and established choreographers as the company began to grow, adding bodies of work by a variety of artists. In the 1980s, the company commissioned several works by Lynne Taylor-Corbett, Margo Sappington and Daniel Ezralow. Its debut in New York City was in May 1983. |
