DanceLAB Emerging Choreographers: an·am·ne·sis
Saturday, March 28, 2020 // 6pm & 8pm
at Danceworks Studio Theatre
an·am·ne·sis, Danceworks’ first concert in their new Emerging Choreographer series, will showcase the works of Zach Schorsch and Maggie Seer. Joined by nine of MKE’s most daring performance artists, Schorsch and Seer generate a subconscious ocean of nostalgia. Utilizing various elements of dance theatre, performers will activate shared memory, embodied recollection and necessary doubt.
Artist Bios:
Maggie Seer received her BFA in Dance from UW-Milwaukee in 2016. She has performed regularly with Danceworks Performance MKE since 2017 and Wild Space Dance Company since 2016. She performs with Maria Gillespie’s Hyperlocal MKE and the Gina Laurenzi Dance Project. She has choreographed several times for the Danceworks DanceLAB Get It Out There concert series and will present a new work as part of the Danceworks’ Emerging Choreographers Concert in 2020. Maggie also fundraises and teaches for Danceworks, and loves exploring the Milwaukee community.
Zach Schorsch is a creator whose body of work includes dance, physical theatre, poetry, and visual art. Zach performed with Danceworks Performance Company 18-19 and Danceworks Performance MKE in the fall of 2019. They have also shown work through DanceLab’s Get It Out There series and was given a Danceworks Space Grant in 2018. Later this season, Zach will be premiering new work alongside two other members of the Danceworks family. As the Community Liaison for 53212 presents and a Workshop Facilitator for The Field MKE, Zach continues to collaborate with artists throughout the city.

STEAM Ahead
Saturday, April 25, 2020 // 5:30pm & 7:30pm
Sunday, April 26, 2020 // 1:30pm
at Danceworks Studio Theatre
Join the youth artists of DYPC as they dive into a range of topics and explore their other interests through movement. In STEAM Ahead, we begin in a classroom setting and investigate various areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math through, you guessed it, “A” – the arts! Performers begin as students at desks but soon their excitement in a topic gets swept up into a visual, interactive learning experience where sound clips and movements are remixed and the classroom is transformed into a world of exploration and reinvestigation. The experience of learning becomes an all encompassing journey through movement, media, and music!

101 Ways to Enter & Exit (Stage Door Left)

Our lives are marked by comings and goings. Sometimes a grand and sweeping entrance – sometimes an abrupt and unexpected exit. Long goodbyes, stumbling onto stage unprepared or shot like a cannon into the unknown. We’ll explore tales that exude humor, sorrow, joy and compassion crafted by guest author, Jennifer Kohnhorst (The Moth Twin Cities StorySLAM Winner, DPC’s Secrets from the Wide Sky). This theatrical event unfolds with original music by percussionist Andy Miller (UWM Dance Department Music Director), who provides drum rolls to accompany grand entrances and the steady pulse that vibrates through the exuberance of birth, the endurance of life and the ritual and beauty of death. Choreography by Dani Kuepper embodies these extreme moments of lived experience through an intergenerational cast that offer a collective wisdom and diverse perspective of beginnings and endings.
