Our Lives magazine published a story on the multi-year community-based creative research project led by the Department of Dance that culminated in the world premiere of CARE during Winterdances: Resilience. The article highlights choreographer, writer, director, and filmmaker David Roussève’s collaboration with Milwaukee’s LGBTQ+ organization Diverse & Resilient and local participants through the CARE: Illuminating Milwaukee’s Queer and Trans Communities Project, which engaged community members and UWM students in interviews, workshops, and choreography beginning in 2024, centering themes of resilience, care, and joy within Milwaukee’s queer and trans communities.
