Photo © Lois Greenfield. WELCOME NORTHROP PRESENTS Dear Northrop Dance Lovers, Welcome to your new Northrop! Our grand reopening celebration—with its nod TREY McINTYRE PROJECT to Northrop’s illustrious dance history—began on April 4th with American Ballet Theatre, and it continues tonight with Trey McIntyre Project. This is the Trey McIntyre celebrated company that forsook the glitter and glamour of big city life, took Artistic Director up residence in Idaho, and then made the world sit up and take notice. Brian Aune Boise embraced Trey McIntyre Project, naming them cultural ambassadors, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel sponsoring the dancers with 35 weeks of pay and health insurance, donating everything from free medical care to cookies, and naming drinks after them at Caty Solace local bars. They’ve become hometown rock stars. Chief Strategy Officer As Time Out Chicago said, “There’s certainly something about them, and it’s very Kristin Aune* much in tune with an All-American goodness of the Heartland.” That certainly Engagement Director, Interim Rehearsal Director sounds like something we Minnesotans can relate to! And the myriad references to McIntyre’s choreography as “...innovative work rooted in exploration and Chanel DaSilva discovery,” sounds like the perfect match to celebrate Northrop’s invitation to Assistant to the Rehearsal Director, Interim Rehearsal Director rediscover.
