About New Dances

Thodos Dance Chicago’s annual New Dances project has fueled the evolution of Contemporary Dance in America for over a decade.  This innovative project has enabled more than fifty Chicago-based choreographers to advance their skills, create new work, and have it presented in a professional concert setting. 

“Our New Dances choreography project embodies the dance creation component of the Company’s mission, enabling talented dance artists to express their own choreographic visions.”

- Founder and Artistic Director Melissa Thodos

About Guest Choreographer:

 

 

Originally from San Francisco, CA,  Brian Enos has been choreographing since age 14. When he was just 18, and still a student in the Houston Ballet Academy, Enos was invited by artistic director Ben Stevenson, O.B.E. to create his first work for The Houston Ballet. He has since gone on to create works for companies such as Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Ballet Met, DanceWorks Chicago, Ballet Austin II, and the University of Chicago, among others. Enos was named"Best Up and Coming Choreographer" by the Houston Press and was also a winner of the annual Hubbard Street 2 International Choreographic Competition. As a dancer, he spent several years performing with The Houston Ballet before embarking on an eight year career as a dancer and choreographer with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Through his choreography, Enos hopes to inspire, and entertain both audiences as well as the beautiful dancers he is so fortunate to work with every day in the studio. He also enjoys writing about himself in the third person.
