INVITATION
READ.ALL.ABOUT.IT /:/ NEWS PAPER /:/ FRONT is an independent initiative from the contemporary dance community, created by and for artists and arts enthusiasts: YOU!
A 1000+ print newspaper that will be distributed across the Portland metro area. A penniless craft driven by virtue of love for our form and a desire to amplify the discourse around it. Please join us in making FRONT a reality. YOU, because you support such an endeavor, and you love our community (or at least you love some of the stuff that comes out of it). FRONT also presents an ongoing opportunity for those interested in contributing ideas, photos, or words to future editions. WE love you because you support our wild pursuit of truly grass-root publication. We are bound only by our mighty convictions regarding dance.
Please join us for happy hour from 6-8, where we converge to discuss, debate, and celebrate the latest while enjoying a soundtrack commissioned from some of Portland's finest sound artists and dance collaborators specifically for our special event. Head into the happier after hours of the happy hours (8-10) with dance karaoke! We need to invent exactly how dance karaoke might work... but with you to help us out, we are fully confident in the glorious triumph of our newest innovation.
March 25th, 6 - 10 Entrance is free. Donations gratefully accepted for food and drink.
A few of the contributors to the first edition: Linda Austin, Woolly Mammoth, Sarah Slipper, Carla Mann, Tere Mathern, Noel Plemmons, Karen Nelson, Seth Nehil, Barry Johnson, Erin Doughton-Boberg, Lisa Radon
