The Auditorium Theatre, 50 E. Ida B. Wells Dr., is presenting Deeply Rooted Dance Theater—a Chicago-based contemporary dance company rooted in traditions of American and African-American dance—in a one-night-only performance on Friday, Nov. 3, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the theatre’s Made In Chicago Dance Series.
The high-energy mixed repertory program features choreography by the company’s artistic staff—Artistic Director Nicole Clarke-Springer and resident choreographers/co-founders Gary Abbott and Kevin Iega Jeff—and Ulysses Dove. The program includes:
—the world premiere of the full-length Madonna Anno Domini choreographed by Nicole Clarke-Springer, with music by Culoe De Song and Aretha Franklin;
—Ulysses Dove’s Vespers, returning by popular demand after its 2022 company premiere, with an electronic score by Mikel Rouse; and
—revivals by Gary Abbott and Kevin Iega Jeff.
