Four Twin Cities choreographers combine for a varied weekend of work at Southern Theater

The four choreographers presenting work at the Southern Theater this weekend couldn't be more different stylistically, but their pairing somehow makes sense. There's Butoh performer Gadu; tap-dance virtuoso Kaleena Miller, who is planning a piece inspired by dance duos of a bygone era; Justin Jones, who's creating a piece that proposes a new equalization of rehearsal and performance, and the always surprising and thought-provoking Pramila Vasudevan, who in collaboration with Dustin Maxwell brings her unique work that's layered with a contemporary Indian dance aesthetic. Each of these artists is constantly reinventing and challenging their very different forms of dance. Together, they should make a lively evening full of new material. (7:30 p.m. Fri., 2 & 7:30 p.m. Sat., 2 p.m. Sun., Southern Theater, 1420 Washington Av. S., Mpls. $24. 612-340-0155 or southerntheater.org.)
