High school students at Southwest High School in Minneapolis attended Contempo Physical Dance’s performance of Motiro at The Cowles Center and deepened their experience by participating in multiple technique classes in a dance style unfamiliar to them, Afro-Brazilian contemporary dance and capoeira, and created and performed their own short works in response to the work.
