Catalyst + Lateduster, Fierce:Whole

Emily Johnson of Catalyst, repeatedly cited as one of the rising stars of the Twin Cities dance scene, found a good match for her imaginative, Dadaist sensibilities in local post-rock combo Lateduster. The two groups collaborated last July on “Plain Old Andrea With a Gun,” an exploration of hate and miscommunication inspired by the Eskimo storytelling of Johnson’s native Alaska. When “Andrea” got raves, they figured they were on to something and expanded their alliance into new areas. Fierce: Whole is the result, overlaying floating and ethereal neoclassical/jazz/trance over Johnson’s highly kinetic, sharply gesture-laden movement. “Andrea” makes a return appearance as well, expanded and reconfigured into cinema for a multimedia DVD project. This weekend of shows should be a fascinating experience. Red Eye Theatre, 15 W. 14th Street, (612) 870-7035, www.theredeye.org
