Studio Stories podcast airs this Thursday, April 6 at noon with a CANDY BOX Dance Festival special conversation with featured artist, Berit Ahlgren of Honeyworks for Season 10, Episode 127.
These special CANDY BOX editions of Studio Stories delve a little more into the dance works the artists will be sharing. Berit premieres Cedarbacke, a dance project in 3 phases which considers the history of Minneapolis’s Southern Theater and its diverse neighboring community. As a trilogy work, this first segment considers the Southern Theater in the 1920-30’s as a central location for immigrants and first generation Americans to gather, sharing in entertainment and cultural exchange. Nine dance artists collaborate and share with violinist Sara Pajunen in a playful homage to the Southern Theater and a recognition of the waves of cultures the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood has been home to.
Everyone can hear more of Berit’s history within the dance community at our ARENAs archives in Episode 56 on our website or wherever you get your podcast.
