Last night my son, Christopher, and I attended the All-World-Premiere program NEW NOW WOW! at the Lincoln Performance Hall in Portland. Christopher is a piano accompanist for NW Dance Project. The program featured three talented international choreographers creating for NW Dance Project for the first time: Didy Veldman (Netherlands) - one of the hottest names in European dance; Noam Gagnon (Canada) - co-founder of the world-renowned The Holy Body Tattoo; and Pedro Dias (Portugal) - 2011 Pretty Creatives choreographic residency winner. While many local and national companies have reduced or even eliminated new creations for their upcoming seasons, NW Dance Project remains dedicated to fostering and maintaining an environment where visionary dance makers can work with complete artistic freedom and with exceptionally talented dancers to bring their ideas to fruition to the stage. A WOW! beginning for NW Dance Project's eight season!
