We’re nearly sold out for this weekend—only 5 tickets remain for Sunday. We’re so grateful for this support and the joy it brings us. Since some of you have limited availability and want to attend, we’re asking for community coordination to make that possible. **If you have a ticket and can’t come:** Email staff@redeyetheater.org to let us know. You can request a refund or help with assigning your ticket to someone else—both help. Please give us as much notice as you can. **THERE IS NO LATE SEATING** We will be holding the house slightly to accommodate for this however, once the performance begins, we cannot grant access to latecomers. **Plan to arrive early:** Parking fills quickly in Seward. There’s also construction on Cedar Ave and 26th St, so add extra time for your commute. At 7:35pm we offer unclaimed seats in the house to those on the wait list. **Wait list on the day of:** We’ll start a 6-person wait list at 6:45pm at the Box Office, first come first serve, in-person only. PLEASE ONLY WAITLIST YOURSELF. This is based on our historical range of 1-6 no-shows for our performances. We may increase the waitlist starting Friday, September 18th based on performer and audience space needs from our experience on opening night. - At 7:30pm: We release any tickets from advance cancellations. - At 7:35pm: Any unclaimed seats go to the wait list.

It’s opening night! As we get ready to premiere HIJACK’s APARTMENT we want to, in particular, shout out MARY OCHER. @mary_ocher We have been fans of this Berlin-based musician for a long time. Our dance is performed to Mary’s 2026 album “Weimar” played through twice. Thank you to Mary Ocher for the generous sharing of her music, for saying “yes” to two fangirl strangers writing a letter. For the conversation as we three together navigated what that sharing means. And for the constant inspiration as we listen over and over. @mary_ocher is brilliant. We highly recommend her albums, videos, live shows (let’s bring her back to Minneapolis!!!!) HIJACK’s APARTMENT is a new full evening duet dance performed by Kristin Van Loon & Arwen Wilder in the vibrations of MARY OCHER’s album “Weimar” at RED EYE in Minneapolis. @red_eye_theater Sept 17-20 Thurs/Fri/Sat nights are SOLD out. A few tickets remain for this Sunday’s 2:00 matinee More info at www.redeyetheater.org Pix of HIJACK by @valerieoliveiro

Email us if you have questions (hijackdance@hotmail.com). BIG THANK YOU to Zenon Dance School for supporting continuity and flexibility. Go to www.zenondance.org for more info and/or to register for the Spring Session or drop-in any week. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVISATION/COMPOSITION: The frame is the screen or the room or your eyes. Let’s exercise our imaginations, hamstrings, eyeballs. Somatics, composition, calisthenics, appreciation. Let’s look each other in the eyes. Swaying between warming-up and performance, between napping and sweating, between being and seeing figure/ground. Improvisation alongside some not-improvisation. It is often political to move and act and choose. @zenondanceschool @hijack_dance

DOLLY PARTON DOLLY PARTON DOLLY PARTON The lilting sass of Dolly’s music is woven into the sinews of our bodies. In 1997 we made the dance “The Common Enemy of Carrots and Women” to 6 of Dolly’s songs and performed it a zillion times, uplifted every time by the joy and precision of her music. Thank you Dolly!

See HIJACK’s APARTMENT a new full evening duet dance performed by Kristin Van Loon & Arwen Wilder in the vibrations of MARY OCHER’s album “Weimar” at RED EYE in Minneapolis. Thursday-Saturday, September 17-19 at 7:30pm HIJACK’s APARTMENT runs about 45 minutes long and will be ASL interpreted on Friday night. Tickets = $18-$80, pay as you wish. If cost is a barrier, please email communications@redeyetheater.org for discount ticket options. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. TIX: www.redeyetheater.org HIJACK has taken up living in Red Eye. The skyline is our view. We shove the furniture aside to make room for a swirl, a twirl and some kind of kick-of-the-leg. How do you live these days anyway? We are experimenting in animal husbandry. We are cosplaying Lady Liberty but she is melting and trashy in an 1980s way. We tumble and flow, we dig in our heels, accumulate, decay. We are just trying to listen authentically to the walls. To each other. We are the walls. We will show you the secret doily, our secret guts spilled out across the floor. Actually. Who knows what will happen. Improvisation is our only hope for survival. We are trying to bring one thing into a sensible relationship with another (*). While we made this dance in Minneapolis, in Berlin, Mary Ocher made the album “Weimar”. We loved it and asked if it could come to the party. She said yes. Liquid vertebral dance math: two people, three goats, eight songs played twice, three narratives, one album, two shoes, one dance, zero mustaches, and you. You are invited in, to two people alone and together and together with you and the imprints of our downtowns and the memories of old Red Eyes and the ghosts of a party. (*) as in Living in the Composition, Lisa Nelson. Contredanse Editions, 2026 We hope to see you soon, Xo, HIJACK — Kristin & Arwen @hijack_dance @red_eye_theater @mary_ocher @hairandnailsmpls photo by @valerieoliveiro masks by @heimsteadalison This activity is made possible by the Bridge Fund for Dance program through the City of Minneapolis Arts and Cultural Affairs Department.
