MinneCulture | Can You Dig It? Shaft Turns 50

*** Before Shaft, badass movie detectives were white. Shaft starred Richard Roundtree as a black detective, prowling New York City’s tough streets, saving lives and taking no guff, especially from ‘The Man.’ Directed by Gordon Parks, who spent part of his youth in Minnesota, Shaft was a huge hit in 1971. This seminal film turns 50 this year. KFAI’s Todd Melby reports. Listen:

MinneCulture | The (Really Mean) Snow Queen Streams On Screen

*** Ballet Co.Laboratory wants to change the way people think about ballet by changing ballet itself. That’s no easy task. The art form is full of tradition, which some people find stuffy and elitist. Plus, there’s this little thing called COVID happening. As Todd Melby reports, the St. Paul company is doing its best to challenge the status quo at a challenging time. Listen here:
KFAI’s MinneCulture · The (Really Mean) Snow Queen Streams On Screen
For holiday dance productions, we’ve come to expect Tchiakovsky’s Nutcracker as the standard. Ballet Co.Laboratory bucks the trend with a production of Hans Christian Anderson’s 1844 fable, The Snow Queen. The ballet tells the story of a little girl whose brother has been frozen by, you guessed it, the Snow Queen, played by Rachel Seeholzer. Because of COVID, this ballet will be performed in front of cameras, not a live audience. The cameras magnify facial movements of the dancers that might otherwise be missed to someone sitting in the cheap seats.  “Usually in ballet, it’s smile and be pretty and pretend everything is fun,” says Seeholzer. “For once, I get to furrow my brow and get to pout my lip and let my eyes get really stern.” Ballet Co.Laboratory’s production of The Snow Queen will be available for streaming on Saturday, December 19 and Sunday, December 20. Tickets are $40 per household. For more information, go to balletcolaboratory.org. Support for MinneCulture comes from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
