What Gives Your Body Power? A Choreographers' Lookbook

November 24, 2019

Every year for 47 years, the Walker Art Center has showcased the best in Minnesota dancemaking through Choreographers’ Evening (held annually Thanksgiving weekend), and for the past few years we’ve introduced participating choreographers through a utilitarian, yet uninspiring, meet-the-artists blogpost. This year, we shook that up. With design director Emmet Byrne at the helm, and powered by the imagery of photographer Bobby Rogers and videographer Andy Underwood-Bultmann and the development chops of digital designer Jasio Stefanski, we created a multimedia lookbook. Instead of straight bios of performers, we asked them to respond to the question in the headline above. Along with video loops and photographic portraiture, the end result is more evocative—and fun—than ever. Check it out here.
