Hubbard Street Artistic Director Glenn Edgerton joins Moving Dialogs: Shifting Identity 

When: November 11, 7pm

Where: Joffrey Academy of Dance, Official School of the Joffrey Ballet

Produced by Audience Architects, Moving Dialogs is part of a series of conversations about dance and culture. Its events, free and open to the public, encourage important conversations between artists and audiences. “Shifting Identity” gathers three prominent figures in Chicago’s dance community: Joffrey Ballet Artistic Director Ashley Wheater; Paige Cunningham Caldarella, Assistant Professor at the Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago; and Hubbard Street Artistic Director Glenn Edgerton.

These speakers will delve into topics about the evolving states of ballet and contemporary dance in the United States, and how these changes echo larger shifts in today’s society. Admission is free but space is limited — click here to reserve your free ticket today!
