Evanston Dance Ensemble – Silver Lining: Celebrating 25 Years of Dance

Evanston Dance Ensemble (EDE), the pre-professional dance company in residence at Dance Center Evanston, is delighted to present the final show of its twenty-fifth anniversary season. Throughout its history, EDE has been highly regarded for both original works as well as adaptations of classics including Alice in Wonderland, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This season has been no exception and will culminate with Silver Lining: Celebrating 25 Years of Dance featuring a dozen dances curated from the EDE quarter century-deep repertoire.

Choreographers include EDE Artistic Director Christina Ernst, plus Keesha Beckford, Laura Berman, Julie Cartier, Mike Gosney, Elijah Richardson, Enid Smith, and Allison Kurtz Volkers. Notably, there will be a piece choreographed by EDE alum and rising national star Keerati Jinakunwiphat, as well as one by EDE founder Bea Rashid. The show will open with the rarely seen “Unbreakable,” a remarkable piece choreographed by Ernst 35 years ago.
