InSite: Everyone is Welcome

June 16-17, 2023 at Forest Home Cemetary

"Everyone is Welcome" celebrates belonging through dances choreographed and performed by diverse artists representing the histories, cultures and untold stories of those who lie within.

Audiences walk landscaped pathways to watch dances unfold in a moving narrative as rituals, traditions and cultural customs become dances about respect, honor and belonging. Pre-show talk by Milwaukee Historian John Gurda about the cemetery's history.

New works by guest choreographers Sabrina Lina Conchi, Alisha Jihn, Dijon Kirkland, Tisiphani Mayfield, and Yeng Vang-Strath.*

Funded in part with support from Bader Philanthropies and a grant from Wisconsin Humanities, with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the State of Wisconsin**, UPAF, Milwaukee County CAMPAC, the Milwaukee Arts Board and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.

*Guest Choreographers are supported by Wild Space’s InSite: Choreographic Exchange Program, producing site-specific dances by Milwaukee-based choreographers of color.
