In 1989, I was just finishing work in Chicago as gm of the Chicago Repertory Dance Ensemble, before moving to manage Ballet Chicago. We were offered free tix to American Ballet Theatre’s Chicago premiere of In the Upper Room by Twyla Tharp at the Civic Opera House. I was stunned by the mysterious rapture of this 39 minute dance. It changed my life planting the seeds of Dance Chicago. Watch the entire 39 minutes. We still design all Dance Chicago lighting with the black, infinite upstage disappearing background. The “build” in this dance has never been duplicated, but always attempted.

Watch the entire dance please!

Great review for our artists.
