NOTES: DanceBridge is an initiative of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events in partnership with the Chicago Office of Tourism and Culture to support Chicago's professional dance artists and choreographers. Its goal is to foster the creation of new and innovative work, particularly work that "crosses boundaries" of style or tradition and reflects contemporary international influences and interdisciplinary exploration.
