Chicago Black Dance Legacy Project returns to the Harris Theater for a one-night-only performance celebrating ten inaugural Legacy Bearers — visionaries and changemakers who have shaped Chicago's civic and cultural landscape. Ten Black dance organizations comprising the project's third cohort — including Deeply Rooted Dance Theater, Muntu Dance Theatre, Joel Hall Dancers & Center, M.A.D.D. Rhythms, Move Me Soul, NAJWA Dance Corps, and others — will present repertory works and World Premieres spanning African, contemporary modern, ballet, jazz, tap, and footwork styles. The evening is organized into thematic chapters such as Record Keepers, Moral Courage, Sound, and Transmission, with each company honoring a Legacy Bearer whose contributions embody that chapter's theme. The program is co-directed by Mashaune Hardy and Kevin Iega Jeff.
