InSite: Dances for Washington Park is an adventurous site-based dance performance crafted for Washington Park’s landscaped beauty and community significance. In celebration of Frederick Law Olmsted 200th Anniversary, Wild Space Dance Company guest choreographers* Alisha Jihn and Tisiphani Mayfield have created dances in conversation with Olmsted’s design following the paths, plantings, lagoon, and bridges at Washington Park. Audiences will be guided to viewing areas to see dances from a variety of perspectives: the granite wall of composers behind the Bandshell, overlooking a ravine cross bridge, at the water’s edge, and between landscaped trees and rolling hills. A culminating dance will feature the architecture of the Urban Ecology Center.

Guest Choreographers: Alisha Jihn and Tisiphani Mayfield
Performers: Katelyn Altmann, Cuauhtli Ramirez Castro, Desmond Cotton, Shalome Cox, Brea Graber, Zoe Glise, Elisabeth Roskopf, and Lindsey Ruenger.
*Guest Choreographers are supported by Wild Space’s InSite: Choreographic Apprenticeship Program, producing site-specific dances by Milwaukee-based choreographers of color.
