Choreographer Jesse Schmitz-Boyd of Rogue & Rabble Dance takes us on a tour of his tormented psyche and it's pretty darn funny. We're all familiar with the angles — who among us hasn't recoiled at our own annoying tendencies? Schmitz-Boyd and his dancers are best in the short, sharp humorous moments and occasional absurd interludes. The longer movement sections function as calming transitions but they sometimes wander. A duet for Mirabai Miller and Lauren Vanchina is a bitingly funny depiction of how we hide our true thoughts from the world. (2:30 p.m. Sat., 8:30 p.m. Tue., 10 p.m. Aug. 12, 7 p.m. Aug. 13, Southern Theater, 1420 Washington Av. S., Mpls.)
