Saturday, June 1, 2013, 8pm

Summary: Fresh off of its sold out performances of choreographer Carl Flink's evening length work Wreck at Duluth's Clyde Iron Works this past fall 2012, Twin Cities based dance company Black Label Movement returns to Duluth for two dynamic performances at St. Scholastica's Mitchell Auditorium. The company will present two engaging works never seen in the Duluth area by artistic director Flink: Canary, a surreal exploration of a prom night at the bottom of a mineshaft set to original music by Minnesota composer Greg Brosofske, and Field Songs, an examination of the collision of urban and rural landscapes. The St. Paul Pioneer Press declared about Field Songs, Flink "is a sophisticated artist who layers movement and meaning with a sure hand. Like the poet Walt Whitman, he sings the body electric. Dancers hurtle and bound through space with unfettered athleticism, tempering big, bold moves with a rugged lyricism as shapely and weathered as a piece of driftwood." Duluth audiences will have the additional treat of experiencing the music of Fields Songs performed live onstage by Minnesota roots rock band The Jinnies!, Duluth News Tribune:, Black Label Movement "creates a dynamic tension between geometric formations and kinetic chaos." , Writer: Lawrence Bernabo, October 10, 2012., Dance Magazine:, Black Label Movement combines intense physicality with sophisticated structuring., Writer: Linda Shapiro, January 2012
