Analog Dance Works presents: Stewards

Analog Dance Works is laying the foundation for its third contemporary dance production, Stewards, to premiere May, 2026, in Minneapolis, MN. 

Stewards examines the concept of ownership, focusing on consumerism and stewardship as two extremes. Consumerism revolves around people acting transactionally and assuming ownership of unlimited resources, while stewardship suggests caring for things rather than owning them. This research is inspired by my experience growing up in a suburban environment, a disproportionate contributor to climate change. It questions the need for large, oil-derived houses and the separation of designated natural areas from everyday life. The goal of this phase is to unearth the rhizomes of our collective needs, our individual wants, our sacrifices, and our inactions here in Minnesota.

Stewards is supported by UMN's Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve and CBS Conservatory through their 2024/2025 Artist In Residence program. 

Analog Dance Works is fiscally sponsored by Springboard for the Arts, making your donation tax deductible. Thank you for your support!
