After postponing for two years due to the pandemic, Analog Dance Works presents its long-anticipated inaugural event, Tellus. Two premiere dance works bring the company’s commitment to the exploration of the intersection of dance and science to the pressing theme of climate change, moving from Minnesota backyards by means of the familiar figure of whitetail deer to a broad look at the psychological effects of the global crisis. These choreographies by Artistic Director, Brenna Mosser, and company member, Zoë Koenig, are accompanied by an interactive exhibit from the University of Minnesota’s Outreach through Science and Art Group that reveals the science behind the art. The theater becomes a laboratory as Tellus embraces experimentation and play, investigating the rapid shifts shaping the world today.
As part of its health and safety policy, the Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts requires that guests show proof of vaccination/negative Covid test within 72 hours of the performance. In addition, guests are required to wear a mask at all times while in the center. Analog Dance Works is committed to keeping its artists and partners safe and will enforce these policies upon entry into the Tek Box Theater.
Proof of vaccination or negative Covid test will be checked against a photo ID. Physical proof, proof through the Docket® app, or photos of proof are acceptable.
For more information on the Cowles’ health and safety policies, please visit https://www.thecowlescenter.org/visit or contact Brenna at director@analogdanceworks.org. We appreciate your help in keeping our community safe, and better ensure that we can continue to do our work!
While waiting for Tellus, join the choreographers of Analog Dance Works for a roundtable discussion on
the role art can play in responding to, representing, and coping with climate change.
April 20, 2022 6:30-7:30pm CST via Zoom.
