The Minnesota History Center commissioned me to create a set of dances based on 1950s pulp fiction book covers. These premiered as part of RetroRama, an annual classic noir evening celebrating all things mid-century. I was thrilled to work with the charismatic talents of Christine Maginnis, Stephen Schroeder, Laurie Van Wieren and Greg Waletski.
