About

SOLO
performed by the 2024 & 2025 McKnight Dancer Fellows
Friday, September 18 at 7:30 PM & Saturday, September 19 at 2 PM and 7:30 PM at The O’Shaughnessy (2004 Randolph Ave., St. Paul MN 55105)

Each year three exceptional Minnesota dance artists receive the coveted honor of a McKnight Dancer Fellowship. To celebrate them, we commission a solo dance for each of them from a choreographer of their choice. The 2024 & 2024 Dancer Fellows have selected an outstanding group of local, national and international dance artists to bring their choreographic imaginations to new and reimagined works expressly tailored for these exceptional performers. The result is an evening of Minnesota premieres, ranging from Afrobeats to Krump to Contemporary Ballet and more.

Additional events:
September 18, 6:30 PM: Performance preview with SOLO choreographers in the O’Shaughnessy Recital Hall
September 19: Meet-the-Artists: Post-show Discussion Series immediately following the 7:30 PM performance
