This inaugural show brings together 20 Minnesota dance artists/choreographers to present their short works that have been rejected or that they have not had the means to create. Each short work, born from rejection, is a testament to the resilience and innovation of the artists behind them, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of art, access, and opportunity. By showcasing these works in an unconventional dance venue, this show not only pushes the limits of what a performance can be but also sparks a conversation about the future of dance and where it can be performed in the Twin Cities.
Presented by Lily Conforti and Javan Mngrezzo with lighting design by Alice Endo.
Each show is 60 minutes long with no intermission.
