Milwaukee, WI (November 4, 2020)…Wild Space Dance Company creates Under the Freeway, a two-part site-specific performance in the city’s most intriguing parking lot.
Dates and Times: November 19th & 20th at 7:00pm & 8:15pm
Location: Interstate Parking Lake Lot, 328 N. Van Buren Street, Milwaukee, WI 53202
Tickets: www.wildspacedance.org Spots are limited. Advanced reservations are required.
Beneath the curved exit ramp to the Hoan Bridge, Wild Space Dance Company’s Under the Freeway transforms a parking lot into a performance site. Massive concrete columns undergird the freeway overhead, an engineered wonder of symmetry and beauty. Nestled between these structures, a curious puzzle unfolds as dancers migrate between the columns and perform for two audiences at the same time. A foreground for one side is backgrounded on the other.
Riveting by design, Under the Freeway beguiles the eye and engages the mind. Wild, rousing dancers move in and out of shadows caught by headlights. Comings and goings surprise with unexpected unison, duets of impossible actions, like-minded trios and provocative solos (for someone not there). Dancers: Alisha Jihn, Karlies Kelley, Molly Kiefer, Emily Olson, Jenni Reinke, Yeng Vang-Strath, and special guests.
“The sold-out success of this summer’s ‘Drive-in Dance’ and our recent ‘On the River’ revealed the need for live arts experience and the thrill of dancing again with a live audience,” says Artistic Director Debra Loewen. “The Parking Lot Dance Series allows us to offer a full season of live, outdoor performance created in parking lots throughout the city. A special thanks to Interstate Parking, LLC for their generous collaboration.”
