Thanksgiving weekend marked the 40th anniversary of the Walker’s celebrated program Choreographers’ Evening. To mark this milestone, curators Aparna Ramaswamy and Patrick Scully put together an evening that spanned the decades. Choreographers remounted previous works and debuted new works that reflected on the past. Their vision brought together a diverse mix of various genres, music, and inspirations that highlighted the richness within the Twin Cities dance community.
