In Portland- Moving Forward

We have begun Phase Three.

Our whole company and a batch of amazing collaborators are now at work here in Portland, continuing to develop the show/event that will open September 5 as part of Portland Institute for Contemporary Art's TBA Festival at the South Waterfront.

Information on the engagement and performance events, all of which are open to the public and free, is on the right hand side of this page.

We have also begun our yearly Institute. 30 participants are working with us all this week at Lewis & Clark College, where we are in residence for the fifth straight summer. The participants come from around the United States. In the day, we work on devising, and sharing the work that Sojourn does in a variety of contexts. At night, they are working with us on a series of five Prologues for BUILT which will be performed Saturday August 2nd as part of the Ten Tiny Dances event at the South Waterfront. Its free. 4pm.

I'll be using this site to offer thoughts on the process and content of BUILT as we work this summer, and we'll soon have a second connected site on which collaborators and community members will offer thoughts on the process and their experiences.

Hope you can join us.
