Leonard Cruz’s powerful body finds moments of weightlessness while his pristine technique grounds this improvisational work, a sampler platter of different styles of movement, from Butoh to a Pina Bausch-inspired piece. Employing a raw storytelling style that vacillates from highly intellectual to deeply personal, Cruz is a fascinating performer to watch in all of the pieces, but his more personal stories are the most effective. He creates a transformative performance in a section where he embodies the Southeast Asian traditional dances he learned as a boy. (7 p.m. Tue., 8:30 p.m. Wed., 10 p.m. Thu.; Nimbus, 1517 Central Av. NE., Mpls.)
