Continuing the legacy of creating great art!
This fall Dance Wisconsin begins its 47th Season. It is the companies honor to be a constant presence in the south central Wisconsin's Dance/Art Community.
“Continuum” is the underlying theme of the season and “Revolution” is the name of our fall concert at the MyArts Center on September 21st. Dance Wisconsin strives to bring high quality performance opportunities for our dancers and patrons. The organization also promotes growth as the art of dance changes, “Revolution” challenges the dancers with new choreography performed to perhaps unexpected music challenging the dancer and audience to percieve the art is a different form.
The Nutcracker returns to the Wisconsin Union Theater on December 21st and 22nd. No other professional or pre professional dance company in south central Wisconsin can say that they have produced 47 Nutcracker themed productions in a row except for Dance Wisconsin. From the theater at West High School in Madison in 1977 featuring now Artistic Director, JoJean Retrum as the Sugar Plum, to the once hallowed halls of the Civic Center on State Street to our current home at the Wisconsin Union Theater Shannon Hall, Dance Wisconsin continues to perform and update the historical production. This year's Nutcracker performances will once again feature the Dance Wisconsin Orchestra and the Monona Grove High School Singers.
In the Spring, on March 22, 204, the Dance Wisconsin Company will present "Coppelia", a comedic ballet and an inexpensive performance on the stage of the MyArts. This performance will focus on introducing classical ballet elements to elementary and midlle school aged children and will feature a professional guest artist or two.
Lastly, the season will conclude in Kansas City, Kansas at Regional Dance America's MidStates Festival. One of the "Continuum" pieces will have been adjudicated in February and selected to be performed at the Festival in front of 100s of dancers, directors, college educators, professional company directors and recruiters.
