ARTISTIC FEATS The newly-formed Hedwig Dances became an umbrella for the concert and outreach dance repertoire that Founder/Artistic Director Jan Bartoszek had been successfully creating and performing since 1974. Most of her original dance pieces continued to receive rave reviews in their world premieres at MoMing Dance & Arts Center, the hub of contemporary dance theatre during this exciting era of modern dance in Chicago.
Jan Bartoszek received two awards for her work, the coveted National Endowment for the Arts Choreography Fellowship and an Illinois Arts Council Artist Fellowship for Choreography (her second IAC award.)
