While NOT a donation format everyone must pay- the payment is meant to reflect what each individual can afford.

Real Time is curated by Andrea Chastant Burkholder and Daniel Burkholder. It has featured aerial dance and improvisation from Andrea Chastant Burkholder, improvisational dance from Daniel Burkholder, duets from the two of them, as well as solos and collaborative work with guest artists from Milwaukee and elsewhere in the United States. All shows in the series last one hour or under, always with time for drinks and conversation at the end of the night.

“We are working to meet our community where it’s at as far as seeing the arts, and from there, we hope to develop together as performers, audience, and as a larger community.” says Andrea Chastant Burkholder one of the creators of Real Time.

Andrea Chastant Burkholder and Daniel Burkholder arrived in Milwaukee in August 2014, after being performers, choreographers, teachers, and arts activists in the Maryland/DC region’s dance scene. Andrea founded and ran Arachne Aerial Arts in Washington, DC for over 10 years, teaching and performing aerial dance/arts. Daniel ran Daniel Burkholder/The PlayGround for 12 years, bringing a new understanding to improvisational performance to the area. Their companies have performed at, among many more venues and events, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Clarice Smith Center for the Performing Arts, and outdoors at the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival.

Both Andrea and Daniel are certified somatic practitioners, Andrea in Pilates and Daniel in Feldenkrais. Andrea founded and taught at Pure Joe Pilates Studios from 2000-2014 and Daniel directed The Integrated Body from 2005-2014. In 2014, the two created Movement Arts, which aims to integrate their Feldenkrais and Pilates with their disciplines in teaching and performing.

Daniel is an Assistant Professor of dance and Andrea teaches aerial dance at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Andrea continues to teach Pilates at Movement MKE in Shorewood, and recently premiered her solo work, Bayou’s State, in Darien, Georgia. Bayou’s State will be arriving in Milwaukee April, 2016. In October, Daniel premiered the Milwaukee version of his ongoing project, Scenic Route, a nature hike with site-specific performances along the way.

Look for the next iteration of Scenic Route this winter. The Burkholders strive to find ways to allow for open access to the arts, through events such as Real Time and are excited to have an artistic home here in Milwaukee.
