“Dance that inspires, challenges, and entertains . . . from a variety of Minnesota choreographers and companies.” —Star Tribune
Now in its 52nd year, this annual dance showcase celebrates Minnesota’s vibrant and diverse dance community. Powerful performances by a roster of local choreographers and movement artists will draw from Audre Lorde’s writing on the necessity of creative practice. The intention comes from this year’s curator jess pretty, returning to the Walker following her 2019 appearance in Claudia Rankine and Will Rawl’s What Remains. Through Lorde’s writing, the performers will reflect on art-making as a means of tending to the self and to others.
“I am grateful for the invitation to curate the 52nd annual Choreographers’ Evening at the Walker.
I am moved by work that considers pleasure, joy, memory, archive, liberation, risk, vulnerability, reorientation, and transformation.”
—jess pretty
