2011-2012 Performing Arts Season: Now On Sale
Full season calendar listing | Buy tickets online
A bold new season of visionaries, iconoclasts, and shapeshifters.
This year, the Walker's performing arts season is highlighted by A Merce Cunningham Celebration, a 10-day festival of dance works, talks, and workshops dedicated to the legendary innovator of modern dance. Continuing its ongoing commitment to developing contemporary performance, the Walker has commissioned six new works by innovators in dance, theater, music, and multimedia work. Other season highlights include the return of the Out There series, a festival of alternative theater and new performance, and a two-day survey of diverse bands led by critically acclaimed jazz composer/pianist Vijay Iyer.
The season kicks off with Despair Be Damned: New Music and Dance from the Congo, a two-part mini-festival featuring Congolese choreographer Faustin Linyekula and the US debut tour of the Congolese soukous/rumba/reggae band Staff Benda Bilili.
