Hatch Dance is a contemporary dance company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

Their program, PARADISE is a 70-minute, all-ages performance that combines contemporary dance, physical theater, and live music. Co-created by choreographer Helen Hatch and theater innovator Jon Ferguson, PARADISE invites audiences past the threshold of the everyday—into a space of joy, wonder, and connection.

Featuring moving performances by seven dancer-actors and a lush original score performed live, PARADISE is both intimate and expansive—an evening that leaves audiences “lighter, more hopeful.” -Audience Member
