  • Minneapolis Shake, Rattle and Rise - City Pages 12/2/12 7:28 PM
    Minneapolis Shake, Rattle and Rise - City Pages 12/2/12 7:28 PM Shake, Rattle and Rise Passion and partnership are at the heart of TU Dance Caroline Palmer published: June 15, 2005 A bouncy house mix from DJ John J pours from the sound Ingrid Werthman Photography system in a rehearsal studio at the University of Minnesota's Barbara Barker Center for Dance one June evening. Before long, dancers--skilled in ballet, modern, jazz, and West African dance--literally meet one another in midair, pause long enough to twirl around with ballroom flair, and then coolly display some fancy hip-hop footwork, alone and in sets of twos and threes. It's like observing a club dance floor from above during the height of an ecstatic midnight set; everyone shows off his or her style, all fierce, fabulous, and lost in the moment. And that's just the first work in a concert to be performed by TU Dance at the Southern Theater over the next two weekends. Sands and Pierce-Sands have an unusually expressive partnership Toni Pierce-Sands and Uri Sands, both veterans of New York's legendary Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and now based in the Twin Cities, have forged careers out of their considerable talent to generate moments of athleticism, grace, and excellence that requires no hyperbole. Sands choreographs while Pierce-Sands serves as muse and coach; together they enjoy a rewarding creative and life partnership. This is not always easy, as the pair admits during a recent interview. "It's challenging when you have two individuals who are extremely passionate about what they believe in," says Sands.

Built on the legacy of visionaries Dorothy Alexander and Anatole Chujoy, the NARB contributed to the decentralization of dance as regional companies grew in stature and quality nationwide. Under the leadership of Doris Hering, and with the encouragement of Ben Sommers, its membership grew to five geographical areas and over two hundred companies including more than two dozen nationally recognized professional groups.

  • 3/17/14 1 a Railroad Runs Through It
    If Walls Could Talk: A History of Northrop By Laura Weber On the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the University Artists Course in 1944, its impresario, Mrs. Verna Scott, wrote, “It would be difficult to enumerate many artists of the past two decades who have not appeared on the University Artists Course.” Half a century later, Scott’s assessment is equally applicable to Northrop Memorial Auditorium, the Artists Course’s long-time home. The transformed landmark at the heart of the University of Minnesota’s east bank campus has indeed hosted a dizzying array of artists, entertainers, and public figures in its eighty-five-year history: Igor Stravinsky and Santana; Mikhail Baryshnikov and the B-52s; His Holiness The Dalai Lama and the Grateful Dead; Merce Cunningham and Perry Como; W.H. Auden and Marian Anderson. U of M students and arts patrons have been joined over the years in experiencing Northrop’s aura by tens of thousands of Minnesota citizens, perhaps as school children bused in to hear the Minneapolis Symphony (now Minnesota) Orchestra or as proud relatives attending commencement ceremonies. A railroad runs through it The need for a central campus gathering place became acute by the turn of the twentieth century. The University was outgrowing its campus surrounding the Knoll, off University Avenue. The Board of Regents held a design competition for a campus expansion plan in 1907. St Paul’s Cass Gilbert, who by this time had designed the Minnesota State Capitol in the early 1890s and moved his growing practice to New York, won the competition.
