Wild Space Dance Company is in its fourth decade of offering inventive performances, outreach, and community programs. Founded in 1986 by Debra Loewen, and now under the direction of Dan Schuchart, Wild Space is known for site-specific works and artistic collaborations that take audiences on adventures through built and natural landscapes, visual art, history and the human condition with wry humor, clever choreography, and emotionally-charged dance. The mission of Milwaukee-based Wild Space Dance Company is to explore diverse cultural landscapes to create provocative new choreography, site-based performances, and educational opportunities. The company cultivates creative experimentation, innovation, and collaboration by investing in local artists, and engages audiences with dance in a shared experience of place and community. An affiliate of UPAF, Wild Space is a company-in-residence at Lincoln Center Middle School of the Arts in Milwaukee. Wild Space is supported in part by grants from UPAF, The Greater Milwaukee Foundation, Herzfeld Foundation, Milwaukee County CAMPAC, and the Milwaukee Arts Board and Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
