To mark our 99th anniversary, we began in earnest to spark that spirit of community by engaging a much larger circle of residents in a conversation about the future of metropolitan Chicago. During On The Table, nearly 12,000 residents gathered in small groups to share meals and voice their ideas that could make our region even stronger. The result: one of the most powerful moments of civic reflection that the Chicago region has ever experienced. In addition to thousands of ideas, the Trust heard a powerful call for more opportunities for community residents to connect and col - laborate. Our fellow residents share a passionate desire to work together to overcome barriers and solve the most pressing challenges that keep individuals and communities from succeeding. As we advance in our centennial year, we carry with us that echo of community conversation surfaced by On the Table. In the face of a rapidly changing economy, increasing diversity and disparity, shrinking role of government, and growing frustration with political grid - lock, we heard the call for the Trust to — on behalf of our donors and nonprofits that we serve — lead by supporting and inspiring more opportunities for resident-centered discussion and action. To that end, we’ve committed our centennial year, 2015, to inspiring more philanthropy — more public good — by amplifying stories of people and institutions that make our region vibrant. Without question, our donors, grant recipients and affiliates are representative of these heroic stories. We remain grateful for the opportunity to serve you, and we look forward to sharing many of your stories. You inspire us. Sincerely, FRANK M.

  • Thesis Turned Broadway
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From Dance in America: A Reader’s Anthology (Library of America, 2018), pages 258–61. Originally published in California Arts and Architecture, August 1941 and reprinted in Kaiso!: Writings by and about Katherine Dunham (2005). Copyright © 2005 by Katherine Dunham. Used by permission of the Estate of Katherine Dunham. Katherine Dunham (1909–2006) What a life! Katherine Dunham was a formidable dancer, an irre- pressible choreographer, a driven social activist, a groundbreaking ethnologist and anthropologist, a serial autobiographer, an interna- tional star, an inspiration, a scandal (banned in Boston!), and a model for generations of African American performers. It’s surprising that she found time to die, even if it was at the age of ninety- six. She starred as Georgia Brown in George Balanchine’s Broadway musical Cabin in the Sky, the show that Ethel Waters stopped with “Taking a Chance on Love.” (Lena Horne played Georgia in the movie.) She went on a forty- seven-day hunger strike to protest American policies toward Haitian refugees. (Speaking of Haiti, she became a priestess of the Vaudon reli- gion there.) She choreographed a new production of Aïda at the Met, featuring Leontyne Price. For decades, she toured the world with her Katherine Dunham Dance Company, mostly performing revues she created with names like Bal Nègre and Caribbean Rhapsody. (Danc- ers affiliated with Dunham’s company include Eartha Kitt, Janet Col- lins, and Talley Beatty.) She married the artist and scenic designer John Pratt, her collaborator on her shows as well, and they adopted a French baby.

  • Welcome Letter 2013 Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival
    Welcome Letter 2013 Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award Lin Hwai-min The ADF wishes to thank the late Samuel H. Scripps, whose generosity made possible the annual $50,000 Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award. The Award was established in 1981 as the first of its kind and honors chorographers who have dedicated their lives and talent to the creation of modern dance. The continuation of the award is made possible through the SHS Foundation and its President, Richard E. Feldman. Celebrated choreographer, director, and educator Lin Hwai-min will be presented with the 2013 Award by Joseph V. Melillo in a special ceremony on Saturday, July 27th at 8:00 pm, prior to the Forces of Dance performance at the Durham Performing Arts Center. The program will also include a performance of the solo from Lin Hwai-min’s 1998 work Moon Water, performed by Cloud Gate Dance Theatre dancer Chou Chang-ning. Mr. Lin’s fearless zeal for the art form has established him as one of the most dynamic and innovative choreographers today. His illustrious career as a choreographer has spanned over four decades and has earned him international praise for his impact on Chinese modern dance. He is the founder, choreographer, and artistic director of both Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan (founded in 1973) and Cloud Gate 2 (founded in 1992), and his choreography continues to be presented throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. While his works often draw inspiration from traditional elements of Asian culture and aesthetics, his choreographic brilliance continues to push boundaries and redefine the art form.

FREE ADMISSION Dear friends, Last fall, Third Coast Baroque’s debut series ¡Sarabanda! focused on examining the African and Latin American folk music roots of the sarabande. Today, we will be following the paths of the chaconne, passacaglia and other ostinato rhythms – with origins similar to the sarabande – as they spread across Europe during the 17th century. With this program that we are calling Groove!, we present those intoxicating rhythms in the fashion and flavor of the different countries where they gained popularity. The great European composers wrote masterpieces using the rhythms of these ancient dances to create immortal pieces of art, but their weight and significance is such that we tend to forget where their origins lie. Bach, Couperin, and Purcell – to name only a few – wrote music for highly sophisticated institutions. Still, through these dance rhythms, they were searching for something similar to what the more ancient civilizations had been striving to attain: a connection to the spiritual world.
