SUMMARY:Dance for Life 35th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Dance for Life\, which benefits the Chicago Dance Health Fund\, is a one-night-only event showcasing the city’s variety of dance traditions and styles by bringing together professional dance companies and dancers from throughout Chicago\, who unite to support their peers by generously donating their time\, energy\, and artistry. Since its debut in 1992\, Dance for Life has raised more than $8 million and presented more than 50 Chicago-based professional dance companies. The performance gives guests an opportunity to experience a range of dance genres\, companies of different sizes and histories\, and numerous choreographers\, artists\, and designers in one memorable evening each year. An additional beneficiary of Dance for Life is AIDS Foundation Chicago. \nFor this special anniversary performance\, the lineup includes prominent Chicago dance companies and celebrated Chicago choreographers: Ballet 5:8\, Chicago Dance Crash\, Deeply Rooted Dance Theater\, Ensemble Español Spanish Dance Theater\, Giordano Dance Chicago\, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago\, The Joffrey Ballet\, Robyn Mineko Williams and Artists\, Trinity Irish Dance Company\, and Visceral Dance Chicago. Also on the program is Red\, Black & White by Jeremy Plummer and Harrison McEldowney\, a returning work featuring dancers from throughout the Chicago community. \nChoreographer Randy Duncan is creating a world premiere finale set to music by Ira Antelis with Chicago-area dancers from the participating companies and beyond\, as he has for most of the past 35 years. Chicago Dance Health Fund is honoring Duncan for his contributions at this event.
