Margaret Ogas (she/her) is a dancer and choreographer based in Minneapolis. Using an interdisciplinary approach rooted in dance, her works tell surreal everyday stories through a collage of movement, text and sound. Her choreography has been presented at the Walker Art Center, the Cedar Cultural Center, The Minnesota Museum of American Art, Bryant Lake Bowl, Center for Performing Arts, and on sidewalks in South Minneapolis. She is a recipient of the 2021 Naked Stages Fellowship at Pillsbury House + Theatre. In addition to her choreographic work, Margaret performs with the Taja Will Ensemble and is a teaching artist. She holds a BFA in Dance from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Learn more at margaretogas.com.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK:
This work further develops material from my solo “All My Teeth Fell Out,” which explores dreams through storytelling, object and dance improvisation.
