We are so excited to be performing in Frank Lloyd Wrights Hillside Theater on the Taliesen Campus in Spring Green, WI.

The evening begins at 5:30pm with site-responsive activations at Hillside. Black Label Movement dancers will be responding directly to the geometry, materials, and atmosphere of two distinct spaces, transforming Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture into a living choreography and inviting audiences on an immersive journey through design, movement, and community.

The performance continues in the intimate Hillside Theater at 6:00pm with a dynamic conversation-in-motion between Black Label Movement Artistic Director Carl Flink and University of Minnesota architecture professor Thomas Fisher. Inspired by the idea that architecture is slow choreography and choreography is fast architecture, the two will explore Wright’s architectural principles through the expressive potential of moving bodies in real time.

The evening also features striking contemporary dance works from Black Label’s repertoire that echo the spatial dynamism and emotional depth of Wright’s philosophy of organic architecture. The program culminates in the premiere of an original choreography and musical composition inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Work Song, created especially for Taliesin.

Catch us there on July 25th! You won’t want to miss it. Tickets are on sale now and the link can be found in our bio 🔗

This past something Sunday, May 3 something truly unique happened at the UMN Larson Football Performance Center. 110 scientists, dancers, and UMN Marching Band members came together to bodystorm on a scale we’ve never managed before. We’re still processing the images and videos, but here’s a teaser with more to come!

Reminiscing on “Rules of Life” which premiered in February. This collaboration with Odde and Provenzano Labs is over 15 years in the making.

Using the foundations of what we have learned in Bodystorming over the years, we explored what it is to be inside the violence of a cancer cell.

Interested in learning more? Join us for Bodystorming next Thursday at RecWell from 4-6. Paid opportunity.
