Daniel Borak by Julia Nash by Daniel Borak Friday, July 20 & Saturday, July 21, 2018 The NEW Studebaker Theater in the Fine Arts Building 410 South Michigan Avenue | Chicago, IL WELCOME! Welcome to Chicago Human Rhythm Project’s 28th Annual summer festival of American tap dance - RHYTHM WORLD - and the culminating concerts - JUBA! Masters of Tap and Percussive Dance! Tonight, as we continue to celebrate Chicago Human Rhythm Project’s 30th Anniversary, we recommit ourselves to: • Passionate and innovative education programs that change lives • Fearless risk taking as we create and present world class artists and new work • Pioneering expression of new community through authentic diversity None of this would be possible without an extraordinary board, artists, staff, sponsors, volunteers, patrons and community. Thank you all for your trust and generosity! Finally, we wouold like to thank our Artist in Resident, Dani Borak, for his briliant contributions to this year’s programming! His creativity, passion, generosity of spirit and talent have inspired us all! Please enjoy this evening’s performance and look for us throughout our 30th Anniversary Season! Chicago is an amazing Tap DAnce City! So many incredible artists, companies, students and talents. I met all of them for the the first time when I came to Chicago as a scholarship student for Chicago Human Rhythm Project’s Summer festival Rhythm World - and then as a teahcer, performer and choreographer. Those “eye-opening” experiences had such an inspiring and motivating impact on me! Now, it is a huge honor for me ro be here as CHRP’s first multi-year Artist In Residence and I’m trying my best to give something back: to Lane, to CHRP and to the beautiful Tap Dance City Chicago! Dani Borak CHRP Artist In Residence The Story Of JUBA! William Henry Lane was the first African American allowed to perform with white minstrel dancers in the 1840s. He and an Irishman named John Diamond were promoted in a series of staged tap dance competitions throughout the United States, and William Henry Lane won the majority. He went on to give command performances before the crowned heads of Europe and was proclaimed the greatest dancer of all time by American and European critics alike. He was given the appellation “Juba” - master of all dancers. Juba (also spelled giuba) is a river/valley/city in Somalia/Ethiopia/Sudan. It is also a word in Swahili/Zulu/Italian with meanings as varied as “king” and “dove.” A juba was also a dance created by slaves featuring hand clapping and foot stomping, referred to as “patting the juba”. William Henry Lane faced crushing prejudice in a country divided by slavery and was still able to accomplish, to excel and to win. His life is a testament to the ability of people to overcome all obstacles, to excel despite adversity and to affect change through acts of personal courage and fortitude. SUPPORT ARTS EDUCATION! Chicago Human Rhythm Project provides ignition, engagement, and immersion programs that teach specific artistic skills, enhance social and emotional learning and build paths to college and professional careers.

Along with my team, we set out to find the innovators and entrepreneurs who were laying the groundwork for a clean energy future. Mid-way through production, we met Bernie Karl, a wild Alaskan geothermal pioneer – when Bernie told me he didn’t think humans were the cause of climate change, it was a light- bulb moment. A person didn’t have to believe in climate science to still want clean air and clean water. And once we filmed the Green Hawks in the Department of Defense, I realized that national security was another way into the clean energy world. In our travels, we filmed Bay Area radicals, utility CEOs, airlines execs and wonky economists – and they all agree that using as little energy as possible and making clean energy are important goals; whether for solutions to climate change, national or energy security or public health.

BILL KURTIS · You have been earning the respect of viewers and colleagues in television journalism for 30 years. You also won scores of awards for excellence in journalism. Your career has touched every racet of a profession that has grown into the most influential medium of our time. Television won you over in the early 1960s. A native Kansan, you had been reporting fo r a local station but decided to accept a position at a Wichita law firm. Then, a tornado ripped through the state capital. You were able to deliver an instant, on-air warning that saved lives. Your career decision was made; TV it would be. You went directly to Chicago, where you reported the tumultuous events of the late 1960s and developed your journalistic skills. By 1973, you became co--anchor at WBBM-TV. Beginning in 1975, you went to Vietnam two weeks before the fall of Saigon.
