Artistic Director Chloe Jensen premieres a new quartet See No Evil, and presents the return of her full company work Monster which received audience acclaim during its world premiere at Navy Pier in the fall of 2025. Jensen also revives two works - Hanging by a Moment, a stormy duet from 2013, and A Softer World from 2020, a hymn in motion created in response to the epidemic of gun violence in our country. The piece is carried by Principal Dancer Katie Harmon performing as a divine power descending from the heavens above, watching over victims below.

Assistant Director Karen Fisher Doyle premieres a mesmerizing and emotional duet Forgotten, guest choreographer Tuli Bera takes ballet barre into a new dimension in Cradle of the Beast, and guest choreographer Lauren Reed works cleverly with a trio of dancers and free barres for her Gust Gale Gone premiere. Also on the program is a special appearance by ADC’s amazing Youth Dance Ensemble with new choreography Sweet Dreams by company dancer Jennifer Sarsfield.
