What people are saying…
“The show’s high point was a terrific performance by dancer Christal Wagner … This dance illuminated the music, and brought it and the audience to life.”
– John Schneider
“The premiere of Wagner’s physical “Trying to Get Home” found dancers Anderson, Cambra, Cotton, Kuepper, Laurenzi and Licht, along with Wagner, in an angular, somehow-airy ensemble. They danced in front of a floor-to-ceiling projection of a film by Kym McDaniel, its shifting images of sky and urban Milwaukee lifting the performance out of the theater and into the realm of the imagination.”
– Elaine Schmidt
“Christal Wagner’s solo work is earthy and sensual, slowly gyrating hips and open arms that embrace the living world.”
– Paul Kosidowski
