Wicked Sister Dance Theatre was established in 2002 to support the creation, development and production of new choreography drawing from artistic forms as far ranging as aerial acrobatics, modern dance, Japanese butoh, visual design and theatre. The company has presented innovative danceworks at the Paramount Theater and Pioneer Place in St Cloud, and in productions in Minneapolis, Austin, TX, and
Batavia, IL. WSDT has also performed at outdoor public spaces in the St Cloud area and in 2008, created a dance inspired by the natural landscape of the Stearns County Quarry Park. WSDT has offered numerous free community classes, intensive workshops on “Crafting Performance on Physical Structures” for aspiring choreographers, and skill development workshops for WSDT company members and students in contact improvisation, butoh, advanced aerial arts and hand balancing. The company has partnered with the Paramount Theater, the City of St Cloud, the Eastside Boys and Girls Club, the Central MN Community Foundation, the Central MN Arts Board and the Great River Regional Library system to develop dance programming, dance training, and access to dance events for members of our Central MN community. Our Facebook site will remain as a place to archive and share photos, videos and stories of the company. Artistic Director, David DeBlieck, remains active as a choreographer, dance artist and educator in the St Cloud area,
