Trinity Irish Dance Company
Celebrating its 35th Anniversary, Chicago’s internationally-renowned Trinity Irish Dance Company (TIDC) returns to The Auditorium bringing its pioneering innovation and percussive power. The program will celebrate three world premiere works: Founding Artistic Director Mark Howard and Associate Artistic Director Chelsea Hoy‘s reinvention of Johnny (1991), Howard’s iconic work that ushered in a new era for Irish Step Dance; and new works by guest choreographers Michelle Dorrance, and Jamey Hampton and Ashley Roland of BodyVox. The program will also feature original live music performed by TIDC’s band, fronted by Killarney-native, New York-based Brenoshea. TIDC has long sent a strong message of female empowerment; Hoy embodies the company’s unique blend of uncompromising power and grace and is uniquely equipped to join Howard to spearhead the future of this cultural art form. Tickets are $35-$95.
