Rehearsal BTS from ‘The City Knows Your Name’ by featured artist
You can catch this piece on both weekends of Fall Forward Festival! Ticket link in bio 🔗
Minnesota-born choreographer and performer Alexander Hille began his training in his home state, graduating from the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists before earning his BFA from The Juilliard School in New York City. His career has since taken him across North America and Europe, performing with companies including Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, Benjamin Millepied’s L.A. Dance Project, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Cirque du Soleil, and most recently Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich.
Returning to Minnesota to create The City Knows Your Name, Hille turns his attention toward home, reflecting on a city marked by recent unrest, but also by resilience, collective memory, and the quiet pride of those who continue to call it home. The work asks how a city carries what it has lived through, and how we might move forward together without forgetting what came before.

Part dance practice, part creative play, this class dives into the physicality and themes of Chicago artists Erin Kilmurray and Kara Brody’s Knockout – a fierce contemporary dance duet powered by high-femme silhouettes, boy-ish horseplay, toothful camp, and athletic, anti-hero energy.
Participants will be guided through a sensation lead warm up, practice (learn) dynamic floor phrase work, and apply these materials towards experimentation in tension, proximity, play, and negotiations of power in a queer-affirming and community-motivated atmosphere. Come twirl!
