SHAPESHIFT Dance - Sharing Powerful Stories Through Dance

We are thrilled to welcome SHAPESHIFT Dance, performing their show Be Your Own Superhero, which premiered at the Ordway Center for Performing Arts to sold-out audiences.

Be Your Own Superhero illuminates the journey of 9 friends discovering what it takes to be heroes in their amazing community. Against the backdrop of a vibrant city, these close-knit friends encounter challenges that make them stronger and sympathetic to others. Together, they learn empowering life lessons of kindness; hard work takes effort and passion; being gentle with others and the earth leads to a healthier life and planet for all; and that they don't need to be superhuman, more powerful than the next person, or able to leap tall buildings in a single bound to help save the planet. They just need to find the magic and power from within!

SHAPESHIFT Dance is a highly acclaimed hip-hop/contemporary dance collective that uses a fusion of dance styles to create powerful theatrical productions tackling issues of social justice, loss, love, and human emotions. SHAPESHIFT productions are beautifully told through interwoven vignettes that incorporate acting, dance, and a range of blended musical selections.

SHAPESHIFT loves their Minnesota community and they are driven to inspire others and to bring people together through powerful movement!
