The 2007 Meeting of the Performing Arts Roundtable will take place at the 
Harold Washington Library Center of the Chicago Public Library.  We hope 
to see many of you there at what is shaping up to be a very exciting 
program, focusing on Chicago?s extraordinary dance legacy.

The centerpiece of our meeting will be a presentation by Bob Sloane, Head 
of the Art Information Center at the Harold Washington Library Center. Mr. 
Sloane, who has been in charge of the dance collections at CPL for the 
past eighteen years, is also a strong advocate for the Chicago dance 
community.  His presentation, ?Chicago Plays a Part in Dance History,? 
will draw extensively on video and dance files in CPL?s collections. The 
presentation will be followed by a tour of CPL?s Chicago Dance Archives, 
Chicago Artists? Archive, and Chicago Blues Archive, and, if there is also 
time, a visit to the Chicago Theater Archive in the Special Collections 
Department.
