Luna Negra Dance Theater

Luna Negra Dance Theater Luna Negra Dance Theater creates, performs, and teaches contemporary dance by Latino choreographers.

The company serves as a conduit for contemporary Latino dance artists to tell their own stories and express the culture of their communities. Since its inception in 1999, Luna Negra Dance Theater has established itself as a significant and vital component of Chicago’s arts and cultural community. Founded by Cuban-born dancer and choreographer Eduardo Vilaro, Luna Negra celebrates the richness and

diversity of Latino culture through the creation of works by contemporary Latino choreographers and through intensive, hands-on education programs that encourage discovery and exploration of personal and community identity. Steering away from stereotypes and folkloric representations, the company performs works of contemporary Latino dance with energy, power, and passion. Luna Negra makes its home in Chicago at the Harris Theater in Millennium Park, and tours nationally and internationally. Under the leadership of award-winning artistic director Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, Luna Negra Dance Theater has risen to the forefront of American contemporary dance. The company has commissioned and presented works by acclaimed Latino choreographers such Alejandro Cervera (Argentina), Michelle Manzanales (Mexico), Fernando Melo (Brazil), Annabelle Lopez Ochoa (Colombia), Gustavo Ramírez Sansano (Spain), and Eduardo Vilaro (Cuba). Luna Negra also collaborates with artists from other disciplines to create richly textured and highly original works of contemporary dance theater. Recent collaborations have resulted in exceptional projects with world renowned artists and organizations, including jazz legend Paquito D'Rivera, Peruvian singer Susana Baca, the Turtle Island Quartet, Chicago Sinfonietta, Grant Park Music Festival, Ravinia Festival, and Tiempo Libre. Dance in the Community
Luna Negra Dance Theater offers dance education to schools and communities through its education and outreach programs, serving over 10,000 students each year in Chicago and beyond. Dance is a powerful tool for exploring cultural identity, providing positive role models for Latino and other minority students, promoting self-awareness, creating positive self-esteem, and building bridges across cultures. Luna Negra encourages students to explore the world around them, examine their own history and find their own voice to express their unique identity through dance. The company’s wide range of education programs includes in-school residencies, in-school performances, master classes, dance workshops, and a pre-professional summer dance intensive.
