Winterdances: Resilience will present dance works that uplift the human connection through storytelling, joy, and resilience. The world premiere dances dive into our shared humanity and offer a vision of how we gather strength through community. This evening features new works by dance faculty Mair Culbreth, Ishmael Konney, Dawn Springer, and a premiere work by acclaimed choreographer and special guest artist David Roussève.
Roussève partnered with UWM Dance and community partners Diverse & Resilient and local dancers to create his work “Care,” which serves as the final stage of Roussève’s dance and community project, Care: Illuminating Milwaukee’s Queer and Trans Communities. Roussève’s piece features three local ballroom dancers who collaborated with him on the crucial vogue and ballroom section of the work. Richard Buda Brasfield, Jacques Infiniti Hall, and DaCosta Martín worked closely with Roussève to bring the authenticity and artistry of vogue to Roussève’s contemporary work.
