Inspired in part by the city's 2023 "Year of Chicago Healing'' initiative and by the recent, and unexpected, loss of founder and director Stephanie Martinez’s mother, we have invited two of the most sought-after choreographers in contemporary dance: Hélène Simoneau (2021 Guggenheim Fellow, NYCC Choreography Fellow), and Yin Yue (YYDC, Martha Graham, 2021 Harkness Promise Award) to join us in delving into a process that explores the bewilderment, tenderness, and strength that comes from loss – offering a season designed around vulnerability, healing, growth, and pivotal change.
