Kick off The Center’s 30th Anniversary
Season with the electrifying artistry of South Chicago Dance Theatre (SCDT),
one of Chicago’s most dynamic dance companies. In this milestone performance,
SCDT presents a powerful retrospective celebrating the best of its repertory
from the past nine years—featuring critically acclaimed works that blend
classical and contemporary dance with global influences.
Under the visionary leadership of Founder and Executive
Artistic Director Kia S. Smith, a Chicago-native, SCDT has grown into an
international force, performing across Europe, Asia, and South America while
commissioning new works from renowned choreographers and collaborating across
genres—from opera and television to art museums and public schools. With its
signature commitment to Choreographic Diplomacy™, the company creates work that
bridges cultures, histories, and communities.
Described by The Berkshire Eagle as “a company to
watch in 2025 and beyond” and praised by WBEZ as featuring a “breakout
artist,” SCDT brings this legacy performance to Governors State University as
the perfect launch to a landmark season.
