Mark Hackman
Mark realized his love for dance about the same time his instructors led him to believe he'd never make it as a performer. They were completely right. In order to serve the craft, Mark dove into the world of producing while earning his degree in Dance and Theatre Management at Illinois State. To date, Hackman has produced over 30 full-length shows/festivals, has served as well as the Dance Programming Coordinator at the Lakeshore Theater, and is currently a Midwest dance talent scout for Redbull Energy. His remaining hours outside of Crash are spent serving on the Artistic Advisory Committee for Dance Chicago as well as the Culture Shock Chicago board of directors, watching Cartoon Network, and acting as owner and producer for the annual Duets for My Valentine concert series.
