Join us on Saturday, November 5th for a very special evening to celebrate our “Sweet 16” and the inaugural season at The Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts at Rosa Mexicano (Located in City Center at the corner of 6th & Hennepin across from The Cowles Center.) Buy VIP tickets!

ARENA Dances presents the world premiere of MATADOR, artistic director Mathew Janczewski’s exploration into the psyche and emotion of the bullfighter. The full company fearlessly dances into the center of danger, sensuality, and mysticism – the act of putting oneself in the line of fire. City Pages writes, “The sheer attack of [ARENA’s] movement is intoxicating.” The evening also includes Janczewski’s physically lush quartet, run with me, and special feature by Minnesota favorite Robin Stiehm with her trio, Give/Get/Take performed by Amy Behm-Thomson, Mathew Janczewski, and Renee Starr. Stiehm explores power inequities in personal relationships, presenting a vocabulary of potent gestures that morph into a full-bodied dance of relentless partnering and deep psychological overtones.
