WE ARE AUDITIONING 🚨
This season will consist of full length dance theatre production centered around a Creature Feature. This show will echo the research done within A Flower in the Tumbleweeds & twist, distort, and push it forward into a new composition & narrative!
For this season, we are looking to fill 1 open position.
All dance artists that are a part of WAC are paid:
$10 per rehearsal, company class, and community gatherings.
$50 per pop-up performance (2 works or less)
$75 per concert length performance
Rehearsals are Tuesdays from 6:30p - 9:30p & Sundays from 6p-9p.
This process will have one-off rehearsals and updates from July - September with the typical rehearsal schedule starting in October with a proposed show date in late May 2027. All rehearsals & performance are currently slated to take place at Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble.

The Wolfpack is back!
🐺🌳🖤
The Wolfpack is a restorative and introspective improvisation dance jam that is focused on themes of nature, using tarot based archetypes. The Wolfpack is made for any and all movers. The only rules to enter the space is to carry respect for you and the community that joins the space on a personal and artistic level. It is essential to the heart of The Wolfpack to celebrate individuals who go against the grain in pursuit of sharing their own stories and concepts that support the pack of like-minded individuals.
🐺🌳🖤
The Wolfpack invites you to join us at the precipice of the mountain. A keeper of snow in the dead of winter, we can feel isolated by the climb or inspired by uncovering the gems within us all. In this class, we will work as a group to accomplish tasks that surround the archetype of the mountain and come together in a way that is unique to the group in the room.

Community, we are SO grateful for all the love you have shown us for this past run of A Flower in the Tumbleweeds. We came full force with the most production value we have had yet, and we’re so glad you enjoyed rodeo. No one does anything alone, and we wouldn’t be here without our talented company, tech team, guest artist, organizers, board members, queer art market vendors, community resource sharers, and volunteers. Our community has shown up for us time and time again and we couldn’t be more grateful. Cheers to our first rodeo! It may not be too long before we’re back in the saddle. 🙂↕️❤️
