"Destination Twin Cities"
at The Lab Theater IN Minneapolis, MN, June 14 - 15, 2013
PLANS ARE IN MOTION FOR A SEQUEL, SO STAY TUNED!
Two Minnesota artists — celebrated choreographer Sarah LaRose-Holland and jazz pianist Butch Thompson — collaborated to present "Destination Twin Cities," an impressionistic, time-traveling exploration of neighborhoods, landmarks, people and places that define urban life in Minnesota. Who were we, and who are we today?
The performance included images of Saint Paul's Swede Hollow neighborhood and iconic landmarks like the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis. The experience of the seedy Hennepin Avenue "strip" was revisited, where jazz musicians provided the sound track and the counter-cultural antiwar lifestyle that emerged on Minneapolis' West Bank during the 1960s. This is just part of the story.
"Destination Twin Cities" featured Sarah LaRose-Holland's dynamically engaging dance company Kinetic Evolutions, renowned jazz pianist Butch Thompson, and a cameo by wonderful singer Maud Hixson.
