Sarah Michelson: October2018/\

Walker Commission
World Premiere

“Go see the work. Whatever it is and whatever she calls it, just go.” —New York Magazine

Sarah Michelson has been creating dances of unmatched intensity since the early ’90s. She more recently calls these dances “studio work, to look at and be with, constructed in this time for this time—an attempt to stay fresh and work hard, but invite no celebration, no opinion, no success.” Michelson’s long, close relationship with the Walker, which has included the landmark commissioned works Daylight (for Minneapolis) (2005), Devotion (2011), and tournamento (2015), continues with October2018/\.

Contains mature content and language.

Tickets to this performance are $5 and are excluded from other discounts or package offers.
