Minneapolis, Minn. February 15, 2012 The Cowles Center for Dance and Performing Arts is pleased to work with Stuart Pimsler Dance & Theater as they present We, the Others March 9th through 11th in The Goodale Theater. This new production will center on the transformative nature of otherness and ask, Can separation and opposition become a connecting place for finding the beauty in difference?

The program at The Cowles Center will also feature Tales from the Book of Longing, which received its premiere at the Guthrie Theater in 2009. Closing the evening will be Ways to Be Hold, which was recently selected by the Tanzmesse International Festival to be presented this summer in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Celebrate sixteen years of engaging dance with Mathew and ARENA DANCES. Tickets are $28 plus handling fees and can be purchased by call 612.206.3600 or going online to www.thecowlescenter.org.
