What's On

Annabelle Broom, the Unhappy Witch Casper the friendly you-know-what has nothing on this non-conformist witch, who'd rather be chic than "shock"! Annabelle Broom, The Unhappy Witch is an enchanting children's musical about a young witch whose love of fashion keeps her in hot water with her elders.

Bucking tradition is always tough but, when you're a witch and it's the scaring season, things get even more complicated. Annabelle Broom finds herself in this exact pickle when her heartstrings are tugged by two lost kids in need of a grownup's assistance. But, as she's already at odds with her pointy-hatted superiors, Annabelle could lose her haunting card if she doesn't frighten the youngsters. Placing its protagonist at a crossroads, Eleanor and Ray Harder's children's musical explores what happens when doing your job means ignoring your conscience.

Into Sunlight Dance Performance
David Maraniss' Vietnam War-era book, They Marched Into Sunlight, encompasses two days in October 1967, weaving together the ambush of a battalion of American soldiers in Vietnam, an anti-war protest turned violent at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the federal officials' response in Washington DC. The dance, Into Sunlight, premiered both at UW-Madison in 2011, as well as at Hofstra University. At each location it served as the centerpiece for an interdisciplinary conference examining the effects of war and violence on the individual and social body from Vietnam to our present era. The perspectives of History, Psychology, Political Science, Trauma Studies, Anthropology, Visual Art, and Theatre were all additions to the dialogue about the impact of war. After every performance, audiences have been engaged in discussions, expressing their emotions, concerns, interpretations, and ideas for action.

Later performances in 2012 included Georgetown University, 92nd St Y, StonyBrook University's Festival of the Moving Body, Florence Gould Hall, and at Holy Trinity Diocesan High School, where it was the focal point of extensive residency. The work was also performed at Westpoint Military Academy and at the Walter Reed Military Hospital. In 2015, the company was invited to perform Into Sunlight in three cities in Vietnam in honor of the 20th anniversary of renewed diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the United States. Robin Becker Dance was awarded two National Endowment of the Arts Awards in 2016 and 2017 to bring Into Sunlight to military centers across the country. Dates: Sat 25 Booking and More Information

Into Sunlight: The Film David Maraniss’ They Marched Into Sunlight is a nonfiction account of two days in October 1967 when war was raging in Vietnam and the antiwar movement was raging in America. The book inspired choreographer Robin Becker to re-imagine this story into a dramatic dance performance – a rare marriage.

Into Sunlight – The Film combines the dance performance, historic events in Vietnam, and student protests on the University of Wisconsin campus into a powerful documentary. Director Ron Honsa weaves choreography and archival footage with interviews with Robin Becker, David Maraniss and key figures from the book.

The documentary comes full circle when the dancers are invited to perform their work in Vietnam, adding another layer of depth to this provocative story of war and its lasting imprint on all of us. Dates: Fri 24 Booking and More Information
