Hatch Dance | hatchdance

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

Founded by choreographer and dancer Helen Hatch, Hatch Dance creates original productions through a collaborative creative process that combines dance, theater, and music, bringing together artists across disciplines.

Collaboration is the cornerstone of our work.

We have witnessed the power of a collaborative creative process between artists and how it manifests far beyond the performance. Through the deep listening necessary to make art and the trust that is developed, truths are shared and perspectives are altered.

Since 2017, we have produced interdisciplinary live performances that are enthusiastically received by critics and audiences.

In 2020, Hatch Dance and fellow dance company HoneyWorks joined forces to launch Summerdance, which brought together dancers eager to share their gifts with an audience who yearned for live art in the midst of a pandemic. With its success, Summerdance has grown into a biennial annual outdoor dance event that culminates with the premiere of a new collaborative ensemble work that celebrates a large cast of dancers from the Twin Cities.
