Founded in 1985 by Artistic Director Jan Bartoszek, the critically-acclaimed Hedwig Dances has inspired audiences with bold performances and innovative collaboration. Hedwig Dances is unique in the way it integrates theatrical narratives with thematic elements such as history, motherhood, memory and forms of personal and collective identity. Bartoszek uses projected images, sculptural artifacts, dolls and masks, together with signature dance movements to stimulate the soul and the imagination. In 1992 Hedwig Dances was selected for the prestigious position of Dance Company in Residence at the historic Chicago Cultural Center. In the past decade, Hedwig Dances has proudly shared the Cultural Center's dedication to performance, education and innovative new ways of bridging cultural difference. Hedwig Dances creates worlds of magical beauty with graceful choreography, masterly gestures, and haunting musical scores. At once lighthearted and passionate, the dances nurture a sense of the circular nature of experience, of place and customs, and the commonality of all people.
