March 25 Dance and Writing

Arts are misunderstood and dance especially. Constructing narrative around it post facto, even if there is no inherent narrative intent in the piece itself has great value. Certainly a still painting is inherently non-narrative, but benefits from narrative in the viewer relationship. The writers and the dancers commune tonight at the gallery in Pioneer Place Mall around a new print dance publication, Front. Performers Tahni Holt, Alyssa Reed-Stuewe, Danielle Ross, Noelle Stiles and Robert Tyree host a happy hour discussion 6-8, segueing into dance karaoke until 9 or 10. At the Pioneer Place Mall, bounded by SW Morrison, Yamhill, 5th and 6th. Third floor. 6PM-9/10 Free
