| Submission declined on 10 December 2023 by BuySomeApples (talk). This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format.

| Submission declined on 28 November 2023 by WikiOriginal-9 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by WikiOriginal-9 12 months ago. | |
Comment: This one's marginal, but IMHO the information should be located on that article since most of the sources here are not primarily about Hackman. Mach61 (talk) 15:36, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

John Mark Hackman (born December 14, 1979) is an American choreographer, writer and stage producer. An executive director of street dance company Chicago Dance Crash, Hackman's work is recognized for a live production style of storytelling that combines dance with recorded narration, dialogue and spoken stage directions beginning in the early 2000s.[1] This concept has been seen in Hackman's writings for nationally-touring productions of Booms Day,[2] Tribulation and the Demolition Squad,[3] Gotham City[4] and The Bricklayers of Oz.[5] among others.
A graduate of Illinois State University,[6] Hackman has worked with stage artists including Jessica Deahr, Harrison McEldowney, Amirah Sackett, David Cromer and Nicholas Leichter.[7][8][9] As a dancer, Hackman performed as an ensemble member of performance company Instruments of Movement which operated until 2009 under the artistic direction of James Morrow, of which Hackman tributes a great deal of his creative inspiration from regarding the "fusion" of concert and street dance styles in his choreography and writing.[10][11]
He resigned from Chicago Dance Crash as CEO in 2022, appointing Jessica Leyva as his successor.[12]
