History
DanceCo was unveiled in the summer of 2016 at the Minnesota Fringe Festival with a re-staging of the production of Wolf Tales. Directors Matthew Keefe and Brittany Keefe shared the stage as dancers and divided the duties as co-directors -- Matthew directing the choreography, Brittany designing sets and costumes, as well as sharing the administrative responsibilities. The production sold out three out of five shows, with an overall attendance of 87% and a five-star rating at the Fringe.
DanceCo produced Expectation Station with live music by the Roe Family Singers the following year. Thus launching DanceCo as a regular producer of interactive dance narrative experiences for audiences of all ages. In 2018, DanceCo returned to the stage with Which Witch is Witch? and in 2019, Expectation Station returned and toured to Marshall, MN.
DanceCo remained dormant throughout the pandemic but returned in the summer of 2023 with a free touring show. This summer DanceCo continues this freemium model with a new production by Karla Nweje.
