The Fall Forward Festival is a month-long festival of shared evening performances celebrating the incredibly talented and robust Minnesota dance community. New dance audiences will experience a sampler of genres in one sitting, while avid dance-goers will see their favorite artists alongside equally stellar new-to-them artists. Each weekend features a new roster and a variety of experiences from new work commissions and Cowles stage debuts to community favorites and Cowles Center veterans.

Duniya Drum & Dance will take audiences on an energetic journey to Guinea West Africa with a vibrant premiere by Guest Artist Naby Bangoura.

With their signature groove-driven jazz, Rhythmically Speaking will share sneak peek of a new work set to jazz renditions of Radiohead.
