April 2023 marks an exciting time for Oregon's dance scene with 27 performances scheduled, prompting a two-part coverage approach. Notable events include Oregon Ballet Theatre's 'Marilyn,' inspired by Andy Warhol, and the Portland Butoh Festival, which represents the traditional Japanese art in a contemporary context. The Tiffany Mills Dance Company will debut 'Viola Trilogy,' highlighting themes of exile with workshops available for public engagement. The lineup exemplifies the rich artistic diversity and collaborative spirit in Oregon's dance community, promising unique experiences for audiences and participants alike.
Eugene Ballet's The Toni's offers a deeply personal celebration, a retrospective honoring Ton. The performances explore diverse themes and artistic expressions, showcasing the breadth of the local dance community.
Oregon's dance landscape explodes into a kaleidoscope of full-spectrum artistry, from the raw, urban energy of RUBBERBAND and Step Afrika! to deeply personal narratives woven by Rakesh Sukesh.
Tiffany Mills Dance Company presents Viola Trilogy, a West Coast premiere that weaves together the haunting resonance of seven violas with the nuanced movement of six company dancers.
To make sense of April's wealth of performances, I will be splitting this month's DanceWatch into two articles: one now and another in two weeks.
