ARTISTIC STATMENT
Hot Crowd is a female positive, women run company whose artistic work is centered on collaboration. Our work can be described as athletic, quirky, grounded, and versicle in movement and performance. Over the years Hot Crowd has become highly sought after for their innovative movement based partnering focusing on women partnering women which has allowed us to push the definition of modern dance forward. We pride our selves in a wide repertoire of work ranging from raw human connect, emotion and experience all while creating a narrative backed by a diverse repertoire of soundscapes.
WHAT WE DO
We are a repertoire company who creates new work through commissioned guest choreographers & studio company artists. Commissioned artists have included Joseph A. Hernandez, Jessica Miller Thomlinson, Katie Carey, and Jessi Stegall.
We travel throughout the Midwest for various performances and festivals along with teaching the U.S for residencies on the collegiate and high school levels. We pride ourselves with our commitment to our Logan Square community and proudly engage in local events such as the Logan Square Farmers Market. We are a proud partner of the Logan Square Chamber of Commerce.
Every season we produce two shows (Winter & Spring) along with an Intensive and Audition (Summer). Over the years we have become known for our Choreography Forums which are a fun opportunity for the public to vote via social media on a topic we should turn into movement.
