Cohesion Dance Project is hosting a free dance class led by its 2026 Artist-in-Residence, Nina Murphy, on Saturday, March 7 from 10a-12p at Cohesion Center, 1020 Argyle.

During the workshop, Nina will lead participants through movement phrases and an introductory discussion about the concepts she plans to explore during her residency and performance. Her initial concepts are rooted in an evolving exploration of repetition - as it appears in nature, in life cycles, and through embodied experience of movement and time. Through this lens, the work examines how repeated actions can build meaning, transform over time, and create both structure and surprise.

The workshop is open to dancers, ages 10 to adult, of all levels and abilities. Those interested in the class can register at www.cohesiondance.org or call 406-422-0830 for more information.

Following the master class, participants will have the opportunity to join the residency cast. All who are interested will be cast in the show, pending rehearsal availability.

Rehearsals will take place from March 16-May 14 with the final performances scheduled for May 15-17, 2026.

The Art of Carol Guzman: An American Prairie Exhibition
American Prairie’s National Discovery Center will host new works of esteemed artist Carol Guzman from May through October 2026. The exhibit opening event is May 23. Carol Guzman, a native of St. Louis, early in her career worked and studied in New York City and the Hudson Valley, where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Art and Art History. At the Parsons School of Design, she studied the techniques of the Old Masters and painted portraits, still life, and landscapes in her Tribeca studio. According to carolguzman.com, she drew from traditional techniques, creating oil paintings that “transcend alla prima painting.” Working over a period of time in layers, she creates “visual texture and interest.” Her subject matter is broad, ranging from still life, florals, wildlife, and landscapes to Native American artifacts and antique toys. Carol is also founder of Landsnorkel.com, which is about taking time to savor nature with no particular destination in mind. She happily lives in south central Montana with her artist husband Clyde Aspevig.
