Bottom pic of young women is my piece from Nov. 1984 Choreog. Evening entitled “Alberta”. All high school dancers from North High.
*Thank you! The information has been updated.
I danced in a piece by Suzanne River, probably mid-eighties. Don’t see it listed. (Seems like 1985 is missing.)
Great to read all the old names. Yowza.
Great! Do you remember the name of the piece, any of the dancers?
My dance company performed in the 30th anniversary show, but I don’t see the program on here (only the program from the discussion). I’ll try to see if I can find the program in our archives.

We’d love to see the program! Let us know if you can find it. If not, any information about the performance would be great.
*The program has been added to the blog! Thank you for bringing our attention to the oversight!

This November, curators Aparna Ramaswamy and Patrick Scully commemorate forty fabulous years of Choreographers’ Evening with an evening dedicated to curators and choreographers who have contributed to this favorite Walker program.
They are looking for dance works representing art from the 1970s to the present: remounts of past works, works influenced by a past participant, works grounded in a particular era through a social/political issue or music. They are also interested in work that reflects artistic excellence, represents the theme of 40 years and the range of dance makers in the Twin Cities.
We’ve compiled a list of past curators and choreographers to help inspire dance-makers auditioning for Choreographers’ Evening 2012 and to recognize this program’s long and rich history. However, a number of program notes and photos are missing—so we invite members of the dance community to share information by submitting it to this site.
