NW Dance Project - Casual Act + Yidam

Join us as we celebrate 21 years and nearly 400 works made and premiered in Portland!

Our season opens with audience favorites from our two most acclaimed choreographers!

Founding Artistic Director Sarah Slipper puts her special spin (pun intended - you'll see) on Harold Pinter's lauded 1978 play Betrayal with her Casual Act, while Resident Choreographer Ihsan Rustem will remount his meditative and dramatic Yidam from 2015, which has been performed at the Bolshoi and esteemed stages in Europe, and described as "hard to look away from such breathless abandon."

No vaccination requirements for attendees.
Masks are optional for all NW Dance Project performances.

Estimated full run time is 90 minutes with one 20-minute intermission.

1/2 price student/senior (65+) rush tickets (any seat as available - limit 2) at the theater box office beginning at 5:30pm each performance evening. Photo ID required at time of purchase.

"Arts for All" tickets (any seat as available - limit 2) will be sold at the theater box office beginning at 5:30pm each performance evening. Oregon Trail card and photo ID required at time of purchase.
