Thank you for your interest in New Dances 2024!

Thodos Dance Chicago and DanceWorks Chicago are excited to collaborate on New Dances 2024 and continue a shared tradition of developing choreographic talent and serving Chicago’s dance community. Originating with The Chicago Repertory Dance Ensemble, New Dances has been part of Chicago’s dance history for over 40 years, offering a platform for early career choreographers to create new work with artistic, logistic, and financial support.

LAST CALL to see World Premieres by Chicago-based choreographers Sophie Minouche Allen, Mark Gonzalez, Joey Martinez, Alix Schillaci, Jessi Stegall, Sophia Vangelatos. Performances will be held at The Ruth Page Center Theater, the very theater where New Dances began in 1983, 1016 North Dearborn, at 7pm Thursday-Saturday, June 20-22, during Chicago Dance Month.

On the program: SIX new and diverse dances presented in an intimate setting. Each performance includes a post-show Q & A with the choreographers. Nothing in the world can match the exhilaration of in-real-life events. Buy your tickets today to experience it live. Check out the digital program HERE.

Thank you for supporting Chicago-based artists and organizations!
