Canadian choreographer Azure Barton makes Minnesota debut with 'Awáa'

Mikhail Baryshnikov once called Aszure Barton "one of the most innovative choreographers of this generation." And now the Canadian choreographer makes her Minnesota debut with "Awáa," a show that promises to transport audiences to an underwater dream. The dancers move as if in water, set to a score marked by drumming and strings, while projected videos wash over their bodies. (8 p.m. Sat., Northrop, Mpls., $25-$50, 612-624-2345, northrop.umn.edu.).
