The Magic 8 Ball says concentrate and ask again later…
Featuring the work of the Danceworks creative team—Christal Wagner, Katelyn Altmann, Cuauhtli Ramírez Castro, Ashley Ray Garcia, Zoe Mei Glise and guest choreographer David Roman! Danceworks Performance MKE explores the mysterious significance of the number 8. Inspired by the forces of astrology, tarot, rebirth and transformation, The 8th House invites audiences into a world where movement becomes a ritual of letting go and a dance with destiny itself. Each phrase, each choice, unfolds like a divination by unraveling stories of power, mystery, and rebirth. Choreography is not dictated but revealed through embodiment of tension and beauty while living in a state of perpetual possibility.![]()
