The WEdances Movement Collaborative
explores
relationships between the body and place by investigating our collective internal and external wilderness
AnnaJo Doerr + Rufus Jupiter + Mandy Herrick
Here/Now/Feel
June 2021, VIVA Gallery, Viroqua, WI
Here/Now/Feel aims to explore presence and connection with the body, the public and activation of the surrounding space. It can be experienced like a work of visual art; viewing the micro/macro dynamics of the conceptual whole at any given moment in a 30 minute timeframe.

siteSee
August-October 2020

siteSee is a multi-happening performance project investigating the synchronicity of the somatic body, outdoor space and audience choice of location. Performers explore themes of relationship, awakening and what it means to be a human animal in a site chosen by the viewer.

"As the dancers emerged from their oneness with the trees, the spaces between came alive with tension, rain pattering, earth thumping, synchronous and individual celebration!...To be able to be close, to be able to follow the dancers as they moved, was a gift. I left feeling my spirit lifted, like I was part of something magical. " --Vicky Ramsay, audience and photographer

 siteSee locations: bike/pedestrian tunnel under State Hwy 14, prairie outside of Viroqua, WI, and Jersey Valley County Park, WI

Parking Lot Project
March - August 2020
Parking Lot Project is a performance practice seeking to relate the body with public open spaces. Inspired by the COVID-19 physical distancing state restrictions, movers investigate the body in relationship to 6 feet between each other in a vacant parking lot, typically host to the vibrant Viroqua Farmer's Market.
