Led by Founder/Artistic Director Debra Loewen, Wild Space Dance Company has intrigued audiences for three decades. Known for site-specific works and artistic collaborations, Wild Space takes audiences on adventures through built and natural landscapes, visual art, history and the human condition through wry humor, clever choreography and emotionally-charged dance.

The mission of Milwaukee-based Wild Space Dance Company is to explore diverse cultural landscapes to create provocative new choreography, site-based performances, and educational opportunities. The company cultivates creative experimentation, innovation, and collaboration by investing in local artists, and engages audiences with dance in a shared experience of place and community.

Loewen and the company are critically acclaimed and have been cited among the city's top ten performances of the year by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Recent performances have featured collaborations with nationally acclaimed photographer Tom Bamberger, Duo d'Entre Deux, composer Tim Russell, internationally renowned sound artist Amanda Schoofs, the Lynden Sculpture Garden, the Milwaukee Art Museum and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts. Wild Space has performed in Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, and throughout southeastern Wisconsin. International touring has included performances and teaching in Japan and South Korea.

An affiliate of the United Performing Arts Fund, Wild Space is a company-in-residence at Lincoln Center Middle School of the Arts.
