Wicked Sisters in Wyoming

Wow!! The Grand Tetons are a marvelous site, and a breathtaking backdrop for a wedding. Here's a pic of Cathy, David D, Amy, Jerome and Jeffrey at the reception in Teton Village (Elizabeth & Sebastien nearby). Ben & Cathy were surrounded by a joyous clan of family and friends to celebrate, cook, shuttle, photograph, witness, dance and spread lots of love around during the weekend of wedding festivities.

Congratulations Ben and Cathy! . . . and best wishes for your new life & home in Bozeman, MT.

We look forward to Cathy's visit this fall to dance in our production at Pioneer Place in St Cloud, October 11-14.

Saturday, June 23rd

Noon and 2 pm

Lake George, St Cloud

Join Wicked Sister Dance Theatre as we present all new choreography on trees as part of Granite City Days in St Cloud. Choreographed by David DeBlieck, this frolicking, family-friendly dance features performances by Jerome Bowden, Angela Hasnedl, Arielah Moskow, Amber Olson and Alex Loch. Dancers balance against each other and the trees, roll across the grass and use the natural landscape to inspire their acrobatically entertaining performance, all to the live music of Dreamland Faces. You may never look at these trees in the same way again . . .

WSDT’s Lake George performance is supported, in part, by the St Cloud Arts Commission, FORECAST Public Artworks and the Minnesota State Arts Board. David DeBlieck is a proud recipient of a 2007 Individual Artist Award from the Central MN Arts Board with generous funding from the McKnight Foundation.

Hester Park Play Date

Wicked Sister Dance Theatre hosted a Choreographic Play Date at Hester Park in St Cloud on Saturday, May 13th. With support from a FORECAST Public Artworks Research & Development grant and support from the St Cloud Arts Commission, 10 Wicked Sister dancers and friends launched into gravity enhanced motion on the park's huge grass hill and investigated visual design on the architecture of a depression-era stone pathway and bridge.

Our Play Date also included dialogue between dancers and St Cloud community members about the movement we created as well as the overall process of developing performance for public sites. Information gathered from this experience will inform future choreography and public performance in St Cloud. Thanks to everyone who participated or supported this project!
