'Dancin' with Ethel'
Oct. 23-26 at Southern Theater
Since Minneapolis choreographer Mathew Janczewski first heard the fierce, taut, cinematic compositions of the string quartet Ethel, he has been enraptured -- and keen to set his choreography to the quartet's music. The fall concert of his Arena Dances features live performances by Ethel; the band is also accompanying a world premiere for company members Erin Thompson and Amy Behm-Thomson. The show includes two repertory works, as well as a new quartet set to music by Twin Cities composer Michael Croswell. About the quartet, which features lush, sinuous choreography of action and reaction, Janczewski says, "I'm loving it!"
