South Chicago Dance Theatre

Guess what’s coming up sooner than you’ve ever imagined?? OUR 5TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON CONCERT AT THE HARRIS THEATER!

Okay, I’m sorry to get so excited, but this is big! It’s the moment we’ve been preparing for all season and I am more than prepared to tell you all about it without spoiling too much. Today you’ll get a brief insider’s scoop to each piece in the show, who choreographed it, and what you can expect from it. Don’t let it stop you from getting your tickets – you truly have to see it to believe it!

In no particular order, here’s a glimpse of the five newly commissioned works you’ll see on the evening of May 20!

  1. “In Lieu of Flowers” choreographed by our own Kia S. Smith. This duet is sure to hone your focus as it is one of the most connected and partner-driven works we have. Kia’s new choreographing will allow you to investigate the grieving process portrayed through two female dancers.
  2. “Lit-Anies” choreographed by Crystal Michelle Perkins. If you’ve seen it before, just get ready to see it again! This piece was originally choreographed over Zoom though the dance has expanded since then. Crystal’s dynamic and athletic choreography will draw your interest.
  3. Title TBD choreographed by Wade Schaaf is one of our more gentle yet dramatic words. Technically driven and light in nature, Wade’s piece jumps from somber to joyful to painful set to a classical score.
  4. “Stammer” choreographed by Ron De Jesus is our powerful finale. It’s aggressive and confrontational and our biggest group piece of the show. It’ll end with a bang – that’s for sure!
  5. Title TBD choreographed by Stephanie Martinez will break up the intense nature of the rest of the show. Exploring show business and the monotony of day-to-day work in our industry is shown through playful choreography and upbeat music.

Are you ready to see it yet?! If so, hop on over to the Harris Theater website, find the buy tickets link, and head to May 20. Fill the theater for us! We can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been working on.
