Explore the exhibition Dance Roots: Minnesota’s Movers and Shakers, open until January 31, 2024, celebrating Minnesota’s dance community drawn from the University of Minnesota’s dance section of its Performing Arts Archives (PAA). The exhibition displays memorabilia and a network of dancers, companies, teachers, photographers, dance spaces and supporters.
Hear two book talks at the exhibition:
In December, granddaughters of Loyce Houlton read from her unpublished memoir. See website for exact info.
On January 19, at noon, hear Mary Easter reading from her autobiography, The Way She Wants to Get There: Telling On Myself. Bring your own brown-bag lunch and hear her fascinating tale.
We welcome materials from your dance work. Contact Deborah Ultan, curator of the exhibition and the archives director for further information: ultan004@umn.edu
