Aug 26th, 2008 by misterfatcat
Wicked Sister Dance Theatre returns to Patrick’s Cabaret with their third annual production of choreography and performance on physical structures. This eclectic mix features all new works in the air and on the ground by company members as well as aspiring choreographic artists, including:
David DeBlieck, David Harris, Jerome Bowden, Amy Nystrom, Angela Hasnedl, Nicolas Collard, Jessica Flannigan, Irene Larson, Jenny Lovitt, Stephanie Molstad, Arielah Moskow, Jim Peitzman, Emily Tate and Jessi Vozka.
These aspiring acrobatic artists have been climbing on aerial silks, trapeze, ropes and furniture from their own homes to celebrate the process of discovery, invention and creativity within the realm of risk-taking physicality.
Elsie Smith (and her identical twin sister, Serenity) specialize in aerial acrobatics. Their teaching & performing backgrounds include a 4 year tour on Cirque du Soleil’s Saltimbanco, as well as Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus, Circus of the Kids, the New Pickle Circus, Pilobolus, the Actor’s Gym, Circus Juventus, Umo Ensemble & Canopy Aerial Dance Studio. As performers they present a duo trapeze and duo fabric act, as well as various solos on aerial apparatus. Serenity also performs a partner handbalancing act with her husband, Bill Forchion.
