Collide Theatrical Dance Company’s 11th Season will feature an exciting lineup of innovative dance theater. All shows this year will be at the Luminary Arts Center.

In the fall, watch America’s most notorious outlaw couple come to life in our electrifying production of Bonnie & Clyde. These two small town kids were a pair of daring bank robbers and fugitive lovers destined for a date with death.

Collide’s “exhilarating adaptation” of Romeo & Juliet returns in February 2025 with fresh faces. Witness the intoxicating high of passion descend into brutal chaos in the greatest romance of all time. 

And taking off from last year’s sold-out limited run, the second installment of Broadway Dancin’ will feature brand new dances from some of Broadway’s biggest hits, including Pippin, Chicago, Carousel, An American in Paris…and more!

Collide will also bring back its hit production of Wonderland and tour the mental health–themed production to middle and high schools throughout Minnesota.

TU Dance is one of four dance companies participating in the pilot program The O’Shaughnessy Dance Cohort. THREAT is an evening-length work choreographed by TU Dance Guest Artist Yusha-Marie Sorzano.

THREAT is a concert dance theater work that aims to provoke an interrogation of the roles we play as individuals and communities in hierarchies. The work posits that hierarchies have the power to control our behavior and infiltrate our thoughts, even when no authority is present to enforce the rules. Using a physical language and soundscape that fuses multicultural traditions and styles of the West and the African Diaspora, this social exploration invites audiences into a modern narrative that speaks to the universal experience of authority, obedience, and rebellion.

Friday, April 26 at 7:30pm
Saturday, April 27 at 7:30pm
