<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The fabled story first conceived by Jim Henson and Dennis Lee was made into a feature film that showcased Bowie’s talents as an actor, musician and vocalist. Now for the first time, this
story will be reinvented for a live-on-stage production featuring lead characters, Sarah and the Goblin King, portrayed by Dancing Wheels Company members,
<b>Sara Lawrence-Sucato</b> and <b>Demarco Sleeper</b>. As a strong wheelist, Sleeper, along with Lawrence-Sucato demonstrate athleticism and power in their many encounters and adventures. Foster said her desire to create this new work with the Dancing Wheels
Company was because “it was not only an integrated Company but also a strong, raw, eccentric and diverse group of dancers.” She went on to say “With these characteristics and the charisma that each dancer possesses, I believe they can truly relay the overall
message of this particular story.” Other endearing characters are Toby, Sarah’s sister portrayed by
<b>Emily Schwarting</b> and Gigi, Sarah’s guiding light portrayed by <b>Mary Verdi-Fletcher</b>. The production brings to life a whole host of scenes that include the twelve-member cast, ranging from the dark depths of the Labyrinth to the spirited and fun
loving land where the “magic dance” takes place. In addition to the premiere of <i>Labyrinth: A Tribute</i>, two additional pieces from the Dancing Wheels repertory will be performed: <i>Wall of Glass</i>,<b><i>
</i></b>choreographed by <b>Lisa K. Lock</b>, and an excerpt of <i>Anomalies</i>, choreographed by
<b>Mark Tomasic</b>. The collective works on this program showcase the versatility and strength of this unique company.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
