ARTIFACTS, 2017
Artifacts evokes a time when more Milwaukeeans made things, shipped things, sorted things. It does so, however, with a clear eyeand a playful spirit.

INTO THE GARDEN, 2016
The evening’s final moments, a mix of luminaries, flickering flames and an enormous, dramatic shadow high above the audience, were breathtakingly lovely.

At a performance of such magnitude and complexity as Debra Loewen’s Into the Garden with Wild Space Dance Company, staged at nightfall in the panoramic gardens of the Villa Terrance Decorative Arts Museum, the once-in-a-lifetime fact of the event is overwhelming. The interactions each individual has there with self, others, nature, architecture, sculpture, dance, music, history and happenstance belong uniquely to that individual and can be unforgettable.

LUMINOUS, 2015
. . . Loewen’s eye for unlikely, unforgettable performance spaces combined with the serendipity of a downpour Friday to create a . . . striking luminous show.

BY ACCIDENT AND NECESSITY, 2010
The images and the dancing conspire to nearly stop time and heighten awareness of one’s own perception and processing of that perception. Bamberger and Loewen make you more aware of your own mind.
By Accident feels more like an art installation than a dance concert. It was impossible to see everything at once, and that’s the idea. Audience members walked freely through the space; no two viewers could possibly have the same experience. Each person stitches his or her own sense of time and place into the work.

TRACE ELEMENTS, 2005
“. . . a generous, daringly ambitious, and wholly successful reflection on Milwaukee’s Historic Turner Hall.”
