Stone Marrow: An experimental performance

Stone Marrow is a choreographic excavation—an embodied listening to the deep time held beneath the feet of three collaborators: Elizabeth Flinsch, Kayla Schiltgen, and Jesse Schmitz-Boyd. Anchored in the geological histories of the places they call home, the work attends to land not as backdrop, but as an active, remembering body. Rock strata, riverbeds, glacial scars, and sedimented ground become scores for movement, shaping how the dancers gather weight, yield, resist, and endure.

The choreography navigates where the dancers have come from, where they stand now, and the uncertain steps ahead. In this meeting of geological time and human time, Stone Marrow asks how the landscapes we move through can awaken us—how paying close attention to land might reveal not only where we belong, but who we are becoming.

Elizabeth Flinsch is a fiscal year 2025 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Please plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early. We will be securing the doors to the building at the start of the performance.
