Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 2:36PM
The Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts announced this year’s Fall Forward Festival line-up. The annual festival features shared evening performances over the three weekends of October 21 & 22, October 28 & 29, and November 4 & 5 on the Goodale Theater Stage. In-person, single tickets for each weekend of the festival are $30 or Pay As You Are. Tickets are on sale now through the Box Office at (612) 206-3600 or online.
The Fall Forward Festival celebrates nine different dance artists across three fantastic weekends. Talents collide onstage as our diverse dance community showcases an assortment of genres across this momentous festival. Each weekend features a new roster and a variety of experiences from percussive footwork to physical feats to modern expressions and more.
Said Cowles Center Co-Director, Jessi Fett, “We’re so thrilled to be bringing back the Fall Forward Festival. It’s so exciting to see an artist from our Generating Room program join the festival this year and support four commissions for new work. This just highlights the power of creating pathways for artists to grow.”
Co-Director, Joseph Bingham added, “Just as thrilling is our ability to add Pay As You Are pricing options to this year's festival, continuing our work to make The Cowles Center and dance as accessible as possible.”

Pay As You Are
In order to make performances more accessible, The Cowles Center is joining many Twin Cities performing arts organizations by offering Pay As You Are at select performances throughout the season. Pay As You Are pricing asks those who routinely pay the fair market value for tickets to choose to pay that amount. If an audience member needs to pay less, they can choose to pay less — as little as $5 per ticket, while those who are able to pay above market price are welcome to do so.
The Cowles Center is a dance and performing arts hub that promotes movement and growth for artists through supportive programs and spaces; engages audiences through dynamic performances; and educates learners of all ages through robust and inclusive education initiatives. The Cowles Center is owned and operated by Artspace.
