What Gives Your Body Power?
“In biological terms, movement is the foundational element of survival,” write the members of SuperGroup, the Minneapolis-based performance trio and guest curator of Choreographers’ Evening 2019. To introduce the 15 Minnesota dancemakers selected for this year’s edition, we present a portrait of participants through photography, video, and text in which each artist considers the source of this movement and their relationship between the body—its power, vulnerabilities, and aliveness—and possibilities for performance.
Presenting and commissioning innovative performances since 1940, the Performing Arts program offers a season that spans contemporary dance, experimental theater, new jazz, avant-folk, new global and alt-classical music, and the multiple hybrids of forms in between. Dive deeper at Fourth Wall, where you’ll find in-depth articles, interviews, and videos about the season.
