Making Moves DANCE DEVOTEES GLENN EDGERTON, ROBYN MINEKO WILLIAMS, AND HOGAN MCLAUGHLIN TOAST TO HUBBARD STREET DANCE'S 36TH SEASON. BY MEG MATHIS PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANTHONY TAHLIER G lenn Edgerton is a mover and shaker, literally: He studied under legendary ballet choreographer Robert Joffrey and performed lead roles in The Joffrey Ballet and Nederlands Dans Theater before joining Hubbard Street Dance's administrative team in 2008, where he now serves as artistic director. This month, the contemporary company kicks off its 36th season at Harris Theater with a fall series that includes new work by Hubbard Street Dance alum Robyn Mineko Williams, featuring costumes by Hogan McLaughlin, a Hubbard Street dancer-turned-designer who's dressed everyone from style icons Daphne Guinness and Michelle Harper to pop goddess Lady Gaga. Over a selection of lunch pairings, the trio discuss collaboration, expecting the unexpected, and how Embeya is similar to Hubbard Street Dance. 88 What's in store this season at Hubbard Street? Glenn Edgerton: We have my five favorite master choreographers—Jirí Kylián, Mats Ek, Ohad Naharin, Nacho Duato, and William Forsythe—we will present, but in the first program Ohad Naharin and Mats Ek are being presented alongside Robyn and house choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo. [Green papaya salad, spring wrap, and tuna are served] How frequently do you make it to Embeya, Glenn? GE: After Sunday matinees, I've been brought here by board members. We're not that far from the Harris, and it's halfway between our studios. I find the eclectic menu impressive. There are so many unique choices, it's impossible to single out any one dish. continued on page 90 MICHIGANAVEMAG.COM 088-090_MA_Taste_OTT_October13.indd 88 9/17/13 5:04 PM
