Community
The “Can’t Contain Us!” spirit has always been at the heart of Hancher’s education programs. We’re committed to connecting artists to audiences in compelling, imaginative ways. And we’ve always done that throughout the community, the region, and the state—in all kinds of spaces from schools and libraries to parks and coffee shops.
Reaching out beyond the edge of the stage
Being uncontainable means doing more than putting artists on stages. It means cultivating connections that excite schoolchildren, enlighten those hungry for knowledge, and energize each individual’s creative engine. The “Can’t Contain Us!” spirit is at the heart of Hancher’s education programs.
The 2011-2012 season will include residency events—some on campus and in the
local community, and others in spots around the state—featuring:
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago
Hubbard Street 2
AnDa Union
Roseneath Theatre
American String Quartet with the Maia String Quartet
Stew & The Negro Problem
L.A. Theatre Works
Lucky Plush Productions
Dave Pietro
Sean Christopher Lewis and Working Group Theatre
Enso String Quartet
