On Thursday, February 27, Analog Dance Works will wrap up the challenge by presenting a reprise performance of The Awe Factor, a contemporary dance production of a horror dream landscape on a plastic island that premiered in May, 2024. They are bringing this work back to the Alliance Française Mpls/St. Paul and will once again graciously trash our lobby for the show! The performance will be half an hour with a post show Q&A. Space is limited, so book your ticket in advance. We can't wait to share this work with you again!
Help contribute to the production by donating your single use plastics!
The Awe Factor uses 10 cubic yards of single use plastics. That's a lot of plastic! You can help us bring this show to life by dropping off your plastic bags, mail packaging, and unsoiled food bags at one of our drop off sites:
- Alliance Française Mpls/St. Paul Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve (East Bethel, MN)
Can't make it to a drop off site? Reach out to Brenna at director@analogdanceworks.org for other options.
Deadline to drop off: Tuesday, February 25
