Susan Hadley created Blue Grass in 1998 for the famed Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. A former principal dancer with the Mark Morris Dance Group, Hadley pays a choreographic tribute to bluegrass music played by virtuoso fiddler Mark O’Connor with other masters of this American musical genre. This congenial romp ranges from high-spirited athleticism to wistful lyricism and "touches on the ability of dance and music to chase away those double demons, death and loneliness." (Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune).
