Studio Stories: CANDY BOX Dance Festival special with Annika Hansen and Abigail Whitmore Johnson- Season 4, Episode 55

Abigail Whitmore (she/her) and Annika Hansen (they/them, she/her)
are dance artists and partners invested in collaborative efforts,
performative events, and dance as embodied research. Both
graduates of the University of Minnesota Dance Program, they draw
inspiration from somatic practices, improvisation, post-modern,
and contemporary dance forms. In their work together, they have
partnered with Glam Doll Donuts with the support of a UROP grant
(You’re Invited, 2016), the Casket Arts Building (Casket Dances,
2018), and the Walker Art Center (SculpTour, 2018/2019) to
produce public dance events and experiment with audience
engagement. Most recently, they were collaborating artists on a
piece (To and From:) for the Red Eye Theater’s Works in Progress
2019 program. This year they are also planning another SculpTour
event in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
