Gravitation has begun!

Our multi-generational cast of 19 dancers ranging in age from 7-63 started rehearsing this week-- exploring concepts of gravity and gravitation as inspiration for movement invention. Stay in touch with our creative process right here at our blog. More text and photos soon . . .

Gravitation will be performed as part of Wicked Sister's production of Inhabiting Earth at Red Eye, March 5-8, 2009.

Dancing Between Earth & Sky

Wicked Sister Dance Theatre returned to Pioneer Place in St Cloud for a rousing weekend of new danceworks on Oct 10-12, 2008.

WSDT at Lemonade Fair 2008

The campus of St Cloud State was packed with art enthusiasts attending the annual Lemonade Art Fair. David, Ashley and Alex delighted children and adults alike with Tree Dancing at the Paramount Visual Arts interactive area on June 26th. The weather was gorgeous with plenty of shade in our little nook of trees. After dancing, we helped the Little Lemons sample some of our tree moves. St Cloud City Council member Carolyn Garven joined the action, helping her grandson to bond with a tree.

Dancing with SPANK in Austin

David travelled to Austin, TX in May to visit dear friend and artistic collaborator, Caroline Sutton Clark. As part of the week's festivities, David and Caroline danced with Ellen Bartell's SPANK Dance Theatre for an art opening at the Austin Figurative Gallery. What a treat to dance butoh!

The gallery just relocated to an old horse stable, so we had an obvious mascot . . .

Caroline will be in Minnesota July 22-27 to help Wicked Sister kick start our exploration of the Quarry Park near St Cloud. David and Caroline will be developing a conceptual approach to creating performance at the site, as well as improvisational structures for generating movement with an ensemble of dancers. Anyone interested in participating in the project should contact David: david@wickedsisterdance.org
