The popular dance troupe, the last feature in this year’s Performing Arts Series at MSUM, has performed in Fargo-Moorhead several times. It is a frequent partner with the Minnesota Orchestra, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and the Guthrie Theater. Dance Magazine recently wrote: “The appeal of Sewell’s company is…that his reverence for ballet is balanced by his eagerness to spoof it and his urge to explore outside its safe boundaries.”
