Beyond the Shimmer
April 10-11, 2026
Step into a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. This dance theatre work uses the vastness of outer space as a metaphor to explore distance, connection, and possibility, immersing audiences in a dazzling, multi-sensory experience of bold movement, evocative text, and stunning imagery. The evening also features a new solo for Artistic Director Dan Schuchart crafted by guest artist Alexandra Barbier for her ongoing project, few things ahead of time, in which a 48-hour creative process yields adventitious choices, inventive tactics, and unexpected outcomes. Join us at the beautiful Jan Serr Studio, where the Milwaukee skyline becomes our backdrop and the evening emerges in a luminous shimmer.

“it’s a tour-de-force of creative, technical, and logistic imagination: the most daring and original adventure in the performing arts our city has seen in years. And like all good art, it stirs up many thoughts. feelings and senses, which will not necessarily be the same for any two people.”
“While the choreography itself showcased some serious feats of agility and strength, the message was clear: even as we grow older—especially as we do—we should not let go of our childlike wonder and curiosity when interacting with Nature.”
“Dancing in nature highlights the connection between humans and the Earth. For me, as a spectator and nature-lover, the experience is as spiritual as it is aesthetic. Furthermore, dancing in an urban park like Havenwoods State Forest celebrates not only the human-nature connection, but also the paradoxical connection and interaction between civilization and wilderness. That’s what I loved about InSite: Field Guide…”
