Dance review: A BodyVox Halloween

The Portland contemporary dance company gets spooky—and silly—with “BloodyVox,” its seasonal splurge of the macabre.

November DanceWatch: Onstage at last

From “Hip Hop Nutcracker” to “Cinderella,” Keylock & Bielemeier to Linda Austin’s explorations, dance is live and on the move again.

DramaWatch: At Corrib, a passing of the Irish torch

Also in a busy week: A “Barbecue” at Portland Playhouse, “The Chinese Lady” at Artists Rep, a “Peep” from The Reformers and a “Lonely Vampire” from Imago, “Danse Macabre” returns, plus plays onscreen.

Farewell to three who made a difference

Longtime Portland sculptor Michihiro Kosuge, philanthropist and friend to artists Debi Coleman, and youth music leader Ian Mouser have died. In their productive lives they helped make Portland a better place.   

The Rebuild: Milagro Theatre

José González and Dañel Malán lead the resurgence of the Northwest’s only Latinx theater company.

DramaWatch: Discovering Frida

Vanessa Severo talks about “becoming” the famed Mexican artist; Martha Washington bakes again.

At last, OBT is back onstage

The ballet company, disrupted by Covid and an abrupt change in leadership, opens a new season on Friday.

Niki Price's public art walk along the Oregon Coast Trail began with a bit of history at Ft. Stevens State Park, where the wreck of the Peter Iredale has been slowing disintegrating since it ran aground in 1906.

A beach walk with a mission

Niki Price of the Lincoln City Cultural Center is hiking the Coast to raise money for the center and awareness of public art.

High roads, high notes

Broadway Rose’s new “Loch Lomond” is a majestic musical tragedy about love, obsessions, and duty.
