Join Wild Space Dance Company in discovering Davidson Park, the new public oasis on Harley-Davidson’s corporate campus in Milwaukee’s Near West Side. InSite: Cycles is a free, site-specific dance performance that explores the park’s architecture and the land’s historical significance. A diverse group of artists choreograph and perform this dynamic dance in the Hub, the park’s wheel-inspired amphitheater. The concentric circles allow the artists to explore cycles of community, togetherness, and inclusivity. At the historic birthplace of the first Harley, the rumble of motorcycles and echoes of the past roll ever forward in this captivating ride.

Come early for a pre-show talk about Harley-Davidson’s history. 30-minutes before each performance.

This performance is FREE, but RSVP is required – https://insitecycles.eventbrite.com
