Bringing dance to your local coffee shop, Grounds explores spaces where we experience moments of ordinary and extraordinary human connection.

First meetings, debates, routines, confessions, arguments, plots, and daydreams. Around a shared cup of coffee, we gather and move together. 

At a Grounds pop-up, you will experience not just an up-close contemporary dance performance, but conversations with strangers, shared creative community, and a new way of experiencing a familiar place.

This Cultural Districts Arts Fund activation is funded by the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department.
