Please join Twigs + Co for an evening of dance: July 12 & 13, 6–7:30pm.
Presented in the gallery space at the Center for Creativity, how to milk a ghost is an intimate and optionally participatory dance performance inspired by the artwork and legacy of Wyoming legend Neltje. Drawing from her bold gestures, layered textures, and uncompromising voice, the work explores how those expressions may live within all of us.
Throughout the evening, and within the walls of the gallery, performers navigate the relentlessly lingering presence of what has been silenced—buried voices, withheld stories, muted instincts. What unfolds is not a fixed product but a living experiment: a movement-based exploration of reclamation—of voice, of space, of self.
We invite you to move with us through this ghostly, bizarre terrain.
Cast of Collaborators/Translators/Dancers: Tyne Carney, Madelyn Caviness, Conner Horak-Flood, Jenna Smith, + Liam Teagarden
