Musclescapes features the following new & repertory works by Wicked Sister Dance Theatre:

Stalls, the all new 40 minute ensemble version of this highly kinetic work on an original set piece inspired by public restrooms. Six of WSDT's most acrobatic and theatrical men peer into the humanity of this public/private place, climbing and slithering through the emotional landscape of isolation and exposure, shame and desire, intimacy and competition. Choregraphy by David DeBlieck with Direction from Noah Bremer and Performances by Jerome Bowden, David Harris, Cade Holmseth, Roman Lilligren, Mark Ruark and Galen Treuer.

In Electrization: The Peculiar Findings of Dr. Duchenne, Jeffrey Bleam creates a surreal collage of aerial silks, Shakespearean verse, pornography soundtracks and projected photography to examine a nineteenth century doctor's experiments with muscles, emotions and facial electro-stimulation. Electrization features choreographic collaboration with aerialist Amy Nystrom and performances by Melanie Jarnac and Angela Hasnedl.

Caroline Sutton Clark returns to the Red Eye stage to wrap around a 30 foot rope swing with David DeBlieck in hazmat suits and goggles in "A Lesson in Aviation". She will also be setting "The Thunder and the Freshness" on WSDT dancers, an explosive romp to the percussive music of Kodo. We are thrilled to be hosting Caroline again after first introducing her to MN audiences atop 8 1/2 dozen raw eggs in Summer Splash.
