TDC is thrilled to present Chicago Revealed, which celebrates the American voice in contemporary dance and features an evening of inspiring new works created by acclaimed Chicago artists and motivated by the rich landscape of the city of Chicago.
The concert will begin with Sono's Journey, a new full company dance story, created and choreographed by TDC Founder and Artistic Director, Melissa Thodos, that artistically reflects the life and incredible journey of acclaimed dancer, Sono Osato.
The second act will feature THREE WORLD PREMIERES. RedLines/BlueHorizon by guest choreographer Kevin Iega Jeff, Artistic Director of Chicago's Deeply Rooted Dance Theater, is an abstract reflection of conversations about Chicago, with Chicagoans from diverse and contrasting communities. Robyn Mineko Williams, former dancer at River North Dance Chicago and member of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago for twelve seasons, will premiere a new work titled At the Apex. A third premiere is by TDC Company Founder and Artistic Director, Melissa Thodos, titled Thio Kosmos, or "Two Worlds" in Greek. This work will shed light on the Greek-American perspective of life in our city and will include text based on interviews with members of Chicago's Greek community.
