Challenging and unpredictable, Story/Time is another exercise in viewership. Should we expect theater to conform to our preconceived notions of narrative and format? If we should, who and what should determine the “acceptable” form? If not, where do we draw the line?

At first glance, this year’s Keepers are a ragtag bunch. Their mediums run the gamut from good old-fashioned pen and paper to the human body; their habitats are classrooms, venerable theater stages and rock clubs.
But here’s where this diverse group converges: Each Keeper has talent to spare, and is an indispensable cog in the wheel of Twin Cities culture. For that, we have presented them with some fancy words, and a pretty picture in an attempt to flatter them into never leaving town.
Today’s featured Keepers are Toni Pierce-Sands and Uri Sands, who are bringing diverse dance styles to the masses.
The Walker Art Center has unveiled a new collection exploring Merce Cunningham’s collaboration with Robert Rauschenberg. Yes, it is fantastic. Yes you should go (even if dance isn’t your thing). Read our take here.
