CASUAL ACT + YIDAMKICKING OFF NW DANCE PROJECT’S 21ST SEASON! 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 [https://nwdanceproject.org/people/sarah-slipper] puts her special spin (pun intended - you'll see) on Harold Pinter's lauded 1978 play _Betrayal_ with her _Casual Act_ [https://nwdanceproject.org/repertoire/casual-act], while Resident Choreographer Ihsan Rustem [https://nwdanceproject.org/people/ihsan-rustem] will remount his meditative and dramatic _Yidam_ [https://nwdanceproject.org/repertoire/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. ArtBar should open before and after the performance. OCT 25 + 26 / 2024 / 7:30 PM NEWMARK THEATRE 1111 SW BROADWAY (AT MAIN ST.)
