Company Mission
Wicked Sister Dance Theater was born out of the 8 year collaboration of
artistic director David DeBlieck and Austin, TX-based artistic associate
Caroline Sutton Clark as a means to present engaging and thought-provoking
choreography that fuses elements of Japanese butoh, aerial arts, modern dance
and rich theatricality. With the support of the Metropolitan Regional Arts
Council and Red Eye Theater, Wicked Sister presented our first production,
Summer Splash, in June, 2003. The production featured aerial and
butoh-inspired choreography with 13 dancers, 2 teacups, a 30 foot rope and
8 ½ dozen raw eggs.
Since 2003, WSDT has focused our artistic energies on training performers
in the aerial arts and creating new choreography on conventional aerial
apparatus as well as originally designed structures. The company has also
fostered collaborative relationships as part of the choreographic process,
including essential involvement of dancers/performers and creative merging
with designers, directors and artists from various physical arts. The recent
addition of designer Jeffrey Bleam as artistic associate has expanded our
attention to visual landscapes. In 2003-04, new works were presented at
Intermedia Arts, Xelias Aerial Studio, Patrick’s Cabaret, the Hopkins
Center for the Arts, Red Eye Theater and with our sister company, Wicked
Cricket Dance Theatre in Austin, TX.
