Dance Concerts

Excerpts from any of the following full-length concerts can be presented as individual pieces.

Field Work
1994
Inspired and shaped by Midwestern landscapes, the family farm and the social fabric of small communities, Field Work reveals the experience of rural life with startling and unexpected power.
"Field Work is a wonder to behold…a quintessentially Midwestern sense of wide open spaces."
- Dance Magazine

City Stories
1998
City Stories is inspired by the Milwaukee Art Museum's exhibition City Stories: 150 Years of Photography in Milwaukee. The concert chronicles urban stories and history through dance, music and spoken text. Projected slides weave a striking visual narrative throughout the work.
"These photos recorded so many moments…the dances among images brought the past closer to us."
- The Paper

Dancing Aloud
2000

"the intimacy of reading silently, alone."

Triangulation
2001
Triangulation-is a collaborative performance created by Wild Space Artistic Director Debra Loewen, performance artist Jon Erickson of Columbus, Ohio and sculptor/installation artist Jill Sebastian of Milwaukee. Triangulation employs physical excess, surveillance and pursuit, and scenes of alienated and alien intelligence in an inventive and witty performance set in a strange, physical landscape. Sebastian's sets include a huge revolving atlas and map of the world, askew designs of home furniture, a web of clothes, and projections of maps and triangulating charts.
"Triangulation beguiles the eye."
