This Northrop event features world premieres from six of the Twin Cities' finest dancers and recipients of two year's worth of McKnight Artist Fellowships for Dancers. As part of their awarded fellowship, the fellows also receive a commission for a new solo work created expressly for them. Join us for this wildly varied, captivating celebration of solo debuts in fall 2014.
