The artistic community requires constant replenishment from new blood. Here are five young performers who are slowly making their mark on the Twin Cities. Look for each of them this fall.

BRYAN GODBOUT, DANCER

Godbout, 27, is dancing with Zenon and Black Label Movement. He also is a guest artist with Shapiro and Smith. Linda Andrews, Zenon's artistic director, speaks highly of Godbout's jumping ability and his sensitivity in movement. "Choreographers are taking note of Bryan," she said. Critics, too. Sheila Regan wrote last season that Godbout was among Zenon's dancers who "move through the space as if weightless." Godbout was a theater major at the University of Minnesota when he caught the eye of Zoe Sealy during a musical-theater class. "She said, 'You have a lot of potential. I think you should audition for the dance program,'" Godbout said. "The thing about dancing is there is no ceiling. It's constantly challenging and you can always improve."

What's next: Godbout will be one of the Zenon dancers in Minnesota Opera's production of Bizet's "Pearl Fishers," opening Sept. 26. He will do Zenon's fall season at the Ritz, Nov. 19-29.

His dream: "My goals are to look back on pieces I've done and say that I've done everything I could. There's no end to that. That I've done something that can invoke social change or passion in other people."

MAIYA PAPACH, VIOLIST

In her second season with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Papach, 31, is acting principal viola while Sabina Thatcher is on sabbatical. Papach also performs in the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), a new-music ensemble, and with Accordo, which includes members of the SPCO and Minnesota Orchestra. Papach joined the SPCO in 2008 and "made an immediate difference in our orchestra," said Sarah Lutman, the orchestra's president. "She is a very focused and intuitive player, with deep chamber-music experience, who brings collegiality and spirit to our ensemble." Papach, born in South Bend, Ind., freelanced in New York before joining the SPCO. "I love smaller ensembles," she said. "I feel like I'm learning from the members here, and that doesn't always happen when you're in a big orchestra."

What's next: Papach will be featured in the Haydn String Quartet and Mendelssohn F minor Quartet, Oct. 2-4. Looking ahead, she will be featured in the Bach program, Dec. 11-13. Accordo plays at the Southern Theatre on Sept. 20, 22.
