Episode Details

Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon are the co-creators of the dance performance “Sweet Gwen Suite,” which will be performed at Hubbard Street Dance Company Nov. 15-24. The return of Fosse’s work to Chicago isn’t just noteworthy because Fosse is legendary and a Chicago native. Hubbard Street Dance Company is the only company in the world authorized to add Fosse’s works to its repertory. Reset sits down with Cassie Walker Burke, WBEZ senior editor for arts and culture, to talk about who Fosse was, and what makes his work and this particular dance special.
