A club-like atmosphere of daring ecstasy, collective revolt, and personal reclamations.
This year’s MERGE pairs Mathew Janczewski’s high-intensity, super-charged movements with Taja Will’s nuanced, emotive, and improvisational boldness for an evening of premieres. Their collaboration will culminate in an evening of performance, which includes a new duet by ARENA, the premiere of a haunting solo by Will, and combined authorship with the dancers for a new group work.

Dancers: Leila Awadallah, Kendall Edstrom, Dustin Haug, Dienae Hunter, ImagineJoy, Mathew Janczewski, Annika Johansson, Sarah McCullough,Kae McMahon, Leslie O’Neill, Río Saúl García Ramírez, and Taja Will.

Sunday, March 24 performance is PAY AS YOU ARE.

In order to make our performances more accessible, The Cowles Center is excited to join other Twin Cities performing arts organizations and begin implementing PAY AS YOU ARE throughout the season. PAY AS YOU ARE pricing asks those who routinely pay the fair market value for tickets to choose to pay that amount. If an audience member needs to pay less, they can choose to pay less – as little as $5 per ticket, while those who are able to pay above market price are welcome to do so.
