Expect sets of six to eight dancers moving to lively fiddle, accordion, pipes, and piano, most often from recordings by acclaimed musicians, with occasional live music. Bring soft-soled shoes and a water bottle. Contributions are pay what you can to cover facility rental, with a suggested $5 by cash or Zelle. The location is on Milwaukee’s east side near the UWM campus and along a bus line, with parking available on the street, at the Union lot, at the Zelazo Center lot, and in a small church lot when space allows.

Zao MKE ChurchStick Men
Stick Men, the progressive rock trio of Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, and Markus Reuter, brings its inventive sound to Shank Hall. Together they have credits on recordings that have sold over 100 million copies worldwide, and they channel that depth of experience into a performance defined by virtuosity and innovation. Levin, known for work with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson, wields the Chapman Stick to handle bass and guitar parts simultaneously. Mastelotto, from King Crimson and the chart-topping Mr. Mister, fuses acoustic drums with electronic elements to craft richly textured rhythms. Reuter completes the lineup with a self-designed touch-style guitar that broadens the group’s sonic range. Their music draws from art rock, progressive rock, and at times progressive meta, with concerts that lean into improvisation, extended jams, and select pieces from the King Crimson catalog. The result is a boundary-pushing experience shaped by distinctive instrumentation and seasoned interplay.
