Day Four: Minneapolis

Well, it was an early morning and we drove for five hours from Des Moines to Minneapolis. Our first stop was a LecDem (Lecture Demonstration) at Southwest High School in Minneapolis. What a beautiful auditorium. The outside was old and worn down, but the inside had been redone two years ago. I got to play with a digital console!! Don't usually see that in high schools. BYU just got some this past year! Cool... There was some stressful moments as there was miscommunication and misinterpretations between Pat (the Artistic Director) and I on the running of sound for the LecDems, but we're good.

After that, we went to eat at a Mexican restaurant, then off to Walker Art Center for an evening out. We first stopped at the Spoon bridge and Cherry sculpture ... unfortunately the cherry had been removed due to restoration. awwwww.... Then we walked around the museum seeing all the modern artwork for a few hours until the dance show "New World Series: New York" began. We had all gotten tickets to see it, and let's say it is definitely contemporary dance. I really enjoyed it and loved the interpretations I got out of it, but it would turn out to be not quite the original intent ... but it's modern so I can interpret it however I want. HA!
