Hybrid Hybrid Event

Springdances: Revel & Reckon premieres five bold new dance works that capture the beauty and contradictions of contemporary life. Through visceral movement and compelling imagery, these performances navigate themes of memory, displacement, embodied resistance, environmental justice, consumerism, judgment, community, and unfiltered joy. Each piece invites audiences to reflect on the ways we move through the world—how dance becomes a force of resilience, humanity, and transformation.Featuring choreography by NYC-based genderqueer artist Katy Pyle, alongside UWM Dance faculty Mair Culbreth, Maria Gillespie, Ishmael Konney, and Gina Laurenzi, Springdances offers an evening of urgent, evocative, and boundary-pushing performance.
