SUMMARY:THEATER ENSEMBLE PRESENTS ANGELA CARTER'S "COMPANY OF WOLVES"
DESCRIPTION:Angela Carter’s Company of Wolves\n– A devised ensemble theater piece based on short story – \nA provocative reinvention of the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood”. Unraveling a feverish metaphor for the blossoming of a young girl’s sexuality and her subsequent loss of innocence\, the play entwines symbolism and metaphor using imaginative staging\, evocative soundscapes\, and theatrical puppetry to bring Angela Carter’s gripping folktale to life. Stories of beasts who hunger for blood and darkness\, prowling the edges of the forest path\, waiting for victims. A chance meeting with a huntsman turns an innocent journey into a seductive battle of wills. \nWho will win and claim their victim? \nTICKET RESERVATION LINK \n“The Company of Wolves” is a short story by Angela Carter from her 1979 collection\, “The Bloody Chamber”. It’s a feminist retelling of “Little Red Riding Hood”\, which focuses on the protagonist’s burgeoning sexuality and her confrontation with a wolf\, who is simultaneously a handsome huntsman. Carter’s story uses the narrative to explore the blurred line between human and animalistic nature\, the fear and danger women face\, and the female experience of entering womanhood. \nAge recommendation: suitable for ages 13 and up due to its suspenseful and potentially frightening content.

SUMMARY:DANCE PROGRAM PRESENTS "UNBEKNOWN PATHS"
DESCRIPTION:TICKET RESERVATION LINK \nUnbeknown Paths\n \nFrom all corners of the state\, the dancers of the Perpich Arts High School Dance Program are happy to present “Unbeknown Paths” on May 1 and 2\, 2025. The spring concert is the culmination of a semester of work. The dancers will demonstrate their creativity\, choreographic skills\, and performance expertise in student choreographed works\, faculty work\, and guest artist work. These dancers followed a path that somehow brought them together in the dance program at Perpich. While here\, they have leaned on\, learned from\, and grown with each other. Now\, the paths will diverge again into distinct\, beautiful paths. The works range in style\, musical choice\, and intention\, revealing the dancers’ individual accomplishments and their strong feeling of ensemble. The title\, ”Unbeknown Paths”\, refers to the feeling the students have about moving on different paths at the end of the year. The dances range from dynamic to fluid\, from formal to fun\, with a range of intensities. Congratulations to all involved with the show! \nUnbeknown Paths \nChoreography by the Perpich Arts High School dance students and guest artist: Davente Gilreath (Dance 2010) \n\nSix dancers from six Minnesota communities\nSixteen student choreographed dances\nOne guest artist\nA million ideas of inspiration\nOne community\nTwo priceless evenings\n\nDancers:\nMia Botz – Minneapolis\nSam Ek – Thief River Falls\nElla Gorter – Pipestone\nAna Kol-Balfour – Minneapolis\nAlma Soave – Minneapolis\nDani Wyborny – Big Lake \nDance Instructor – Mary Harding\nLighting Designer & Sound Board Operator – Ellie Simonett\nGuest Choreographer – Davente Gilreath \nThe Road Not Taken\nBy Robert Frost \nTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood\,\nAnd sorry I could not travel both\nAnd be one traveler\, long I stood\nAnd looked down one as far as I could\nTo where it bent in the undergrowth; \nThen took the other\, as just as fair\,\nAnd having perhaps the better claim\,\nBecause it was grassy and wanted wear;\nThough as for that the passing there\nHad worn them really about the same\, \nAnd both that morning equally lay\nIn leaves no step had trodden black.\nOh\, I kept the first for another day!\nYet knowing how way leads on to way\,\nI doubted if I should ever come back. \nI shall be telling this with a sigh\nSomewhere ages and ages hence:\nTwo roads diverged in a wood\, and I—\nI took the one less traveled by\,\nAnd that has made all the difference.

The title\, ”Unbeknown Paths”\, refers to the feeling the students have about moving on different paths at the end of the year. The dances range from dynamic to fluid\, from formal to fun\, with a range of intensities. Congratulations to all involved with the show! \nUnbeknown Paths \nChoreography by the Perpich Arts High School dance students and guest artist: Davente Gilreath (Dance 2010) \n\nSix dancers from six Minnesota communities\nSixteen student choreographed dances\nOne guest artist\nA million ideas of inspiration\nOne community\nTwo priceless evenings\n\nDancers:\nMia Botz – Minneapolis\nSam Ek – Thief River Falls\nElla Gorter – Pipestone\nAna Kol-Balfour – Minneapolis\nAlma Soave – Minneapolis\nDani Wyborny – Big Lake \nDance Instructor – Mary Harding\nLighting Designer & Sound Board Operator – Ellie Simonett\nGuest Choreographer – Davente Gilreath \nThe Road Not Taken\nBy Robert Frost \nTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood\,\nAnd sorry I could not travel both\nAnd be one traveler\, long I stood\nAnd looked down one as far as I could\nTo where it bent in the undergrowth; \nThen took the other\, as just as fair\,\nAnd having perhaps the better claim\,\nBecause it was grassy and wanted wear;\nThough as for that the passing there\nHad worn them really about the same\, \nAnd both that morning equally lay\nIn leaves no step had trodden black.\nOh\, I kept the first for another day!\nYet knowing how way leads on to way\,\nI doubted if I should ever come back. \nI shall be telling this with a sigh\nSomewhere ages and ages hence:\nTwo roads diverged in a wood\, and I—\nI took the one less traveled by\,\nAnd that has made all the difference.
