The small but skillful group of dancers combined with ingenious site-specific choreographer and Artistic Director Debra Loewen to once again mesmerize the audience at Milwaukee’s historic Turner Hall Ballroom last weekend. Building on the landmark building’s Germanic Turner tradition of “Sound Body/Sound Mind,” the performance developed its own surrealistic mindset filled with a few minutes of emotional angst. Loewen merged vintage city spaces into the intriguing performance titled Trace Elements, energizing an innovative format with six separate programs appearing simultaneously for Wild Space Dance Company.
