Artistic Director of Chicago Repertory Ballet Wade Schaaf on upcoming “Vibrant Variations” and cultivating gender diversity
Apr 18, 2023 | By Tristan Bruns
From April 27-30, Chicago Repertory Ballet begins their 2023 season with “Vibrant Variations” at the Studebaker Theatre with four new world premieres. The performance features a “mixed-red” show, a stylistically diverse program of multiple shorter works–generally 3 or 4 pieces, each around 15-30 minutes in length, which would ordinarily contain work by different choreographers. What is different about this mixed rep show is that each work is choreographed and directed by the company’s founder and Artistic Director, Wade Schaaf!
