“I had been looking for an empty pool in Milwaukee
for a performance and when the Gordon Park Pool
was scheduled to be emptied for fall, we leapt at the
chance. This was our first large-scale site-specific
event, which featured the founding company
members, Milwaukee Music Ensemble playing music
by Kurt Weill, and a host of willing extras.”
