ARTISTIC FEATS  Jan Bartoszek collaborated and performed with Deborah Siegel in the world premiere of Open Windows (also the name of the concert evening) at The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago. The program also reprised Jan Bartoszek’s earlier works, In Search of a Common Language (1983) and Slask for Busia (1979).

[Open Windows] “Dancing mostly in separate spotlights, frequently echoing each other`s movements but rarely meeting in unison, the two dancers create a sweet reminder of the delicacies of artistic partnership, a marriage more gossamer than more standard couplings.” -Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune
