Fresh Baked- Episode 4

Fresh Baked — Episode 4

Four choreographers. One day. Brand-new work.

FEATURING THE WORK OF:

Berit Algrin · Erin Landers · Julianne Mundale · Laura Sukowatey

Fresh Baked is a choreographic challenge series produced by Strange Loop Projects at Strange Loop Laboratory. Each installment invites a cohort of choreographers to create performance-ready work within a 24-hour window—shared live with an audience that evening.

Working from the same set of randomly drawn prompts, each artist builds a distinct piece in real time, shaped by instinct, interpretation, collaboration, and decisive action.

This is not a work-in-progress showing.
It is fully realized performance created under real constraints.

Created in 24 hours. Performed live.

TICKETS - Very limited seating. General Admission.

Recommended for ages 14 and up

BAZAAR BIZARRE

An immersive dance-theater experience from Strange Loop Projects

October 16–31, 2026
Fridays + Saturdays
Strange Loop Laboratory
1629 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis

The Bazaar is back.

This October, the world of Bazaar Bizarre returns as an expanded, hour-long immersive dance-theater experience.

Step inside a strange and seductive world populated by dancers, curious characters, intimate encounters, and unexpected spectacles. There is no traditional stage and no fourth wall. The performance unfolds throughout Strange Loop Laboratory, surrounding you and drawing you deeper into the world of the Bazaar.

The deeper you venture into the Bazaar, the more the world splinters into unexpected encounters, hidden moments, and things not everyone will see.

Some things will happen right in front of you.
Others you may only glimpse.
Some you may miss entirely.

No two audience experiences will be exactly alike.

Tickets on sale soon.

Strange Loop members receive early access to tickets before they go on sale to the general public. Become a member and be first in the room.

 

Approximately 60 minutes.
Recommended for ages 18+.

Legible Bodies- Embodied Performing Workshop

A workshop for dancers, actors, and movement artists focused on one specific skill: making clear physical choices — and being believed. Using Strange Loop Laboratory's real architecture as a working constraint, performers build and test physical decisions that read as natural and legible up close, in an immersive, non-proscenium setting.

Led by Strange Loop Projects Artistic Director Zhauna Franks.

Flamenco Ìntimo- by Zorongo Flamenco

Strip away the big stages and experience flamenco exactly how it was born: up close, raw, and intensely connected.

Flamenco Íntimo welcomes you into the setting of a traditional Spanish tablao—an intimate space where art thrives on personal connection rather than spectacle. World-class guest musicians join forces with three powerhouse dancers in a spontaneous dialogue of gesture, rhythm, and movement. Together, they shape the performance in real time right before your eyes. Join us for an unforgettable evening of passion and artistry.

Featuring special guest musicians - flamenco singer José Cortés and flamenco guitarist José Manuel Alconchel - with Zorongo dancers Deborah Elias, Rachel Holmes, and Molly Kay Stoltz.

Artistic Director: Deborah Elias

MOVE + FLOW + SOUND

A movement & sonic experience led by Samantha Cohen and Lacey Cline, designed to strengthen the body, regulate the nervous system, and create space to return to yourself.

Move + Flow + Sound

Begins by dropping in with sound, using vibration and breath to help quiet the noise, settle the mind, and create a sense of presence before movement begins. From there, we’ll move through grounding yoga to open the body and build awareness, followed by Pilates and sculpt-inspired movement to create strength, stability, and heat. We’ll transition into somatic movement practices designed to release tension, reconnect you to your body, and soften what you’ve been carrying.

We close with an immersive sound bath to help your system settle, integrate, and restore, leaving you feeling clearer, steadier, and more connected to yourself.
