We wrap up Season 21 with the CANDY BOX Studio Stories series with our final featured artist, Marciano Silva dos Santos, airing Thursday, April 30.

He is the Founder and Artistic Director of Contempo Physical Dance, where his extensive research has culminated in a dynamic fusion of Afro-Brazilian and contemporary dance. His professional dancing and choreography have earned widespread acclaim; he was named “Best Dancer” by City Pages, hailed as “one of the most graceful movers on any Twin Cities stage” by the Star Tribune, and called “one of the hottest choreographers in town” by Minnesota Monthly Magazine. He is also a 2020 McKnight Dancer Fellow.
