Fresh spaces: There was plenty of dance outside the theaters, too. Morgan Thorson set her five-hour endurance piece “Still Life” inside the Weisman Art Museum’s galleries, while BodyCartography Project traveled around the Twin Cities with its “closer” project, bringing individualized dances to audience members before mounting a full-length work at Red Eye. Ragamala hosted a cultural festival in the Hindu tradition called Navarathri, where dance was just part of the celebration, and Hennepin Theatre Trust brought in guest curators April Sellers and Laurie Van Wieren to launch a dance series in indoor public spaces in downtown Minneapolis.
