Described as “a choreography for competing foregrounds,” Shinar's new piece offers an intimate first look at the newly reopened Cowles Center. Movement is at the heart of the building's return, inviting audiences to encounter dance outside the frame of a traditional stage.

Occupying the space between social encounter and public display, Shinar's choreography moves through fleeting alignments, soft spectacles, and shifting relationships between centrality and anonymity.

Support from the Bridge Fund for Dance, a City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department program, helps bring this performance to the Cowles Center, keeping dance accessible and active in downtown Minneapolis.

The ensemble features Brian Evans, Gabriel Rodreick, Hannah Mackenzie-Margulies, Laurie Van Wieren, Miriana Shinar-Baker, Taja Will, Waswa Kalema and Anat Shinar. (Bios on Page 2). Photo credits: David Owen, Tyler Croat, Jerry S. Almonte, Isabel Fajardo, Dan Norman , and Blake Nellis.
