Hubbard Street Dance
New York may be America’s dance capital, but Chicago features
prominently on the map for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, a company of
versatile virtuosos whose dynamic repertory incorporates jazz, modern
dance, and classical ballet. Hubbard Street returns to New Jersey on
Tuesday, February 10, for a concert program at New Brunswick’s State
Theater.
Founded in 1977 by Lou Conte, HSDC has earned a reputation as one of
the nation’s most innovative and exciting dance troupes. Now
celebrating its 25th anniversary under the leadership of artistic
director (and Lawrenceville native) Jim Vincent, the company
performs its contemporary repertory brilliantly. This eclectic
repertory includes works by founder Lou Conte, Daniel Ezralow, Trey
McIntyre, and Jim Vincent; and international choreographers
Christopher Bruce, Marguerite Donlon, Nacho Duato, Jiri Kylian, and
Ohad Naharin.
Jim Vincent joined HSDC in August 2000 following an extensive career
in Europe as a dancer, teacher, ballet master, and choreographer.
Raised in Lawrenceville, he began his dance training at the age of
five and performed with New Jersey’s Mercer, Burlington, and Princeton
Ballet. He also studied under Mary and Phyllis Papa, current directors
of Atlantic City Ballet. Vincent recently choreographed
"Counter/part," his first work created for HSDC.
Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, 877-782-8311. $16 to $42.
Tuesday, February 10, 8 p.m.
