Oslund+Co./Dance will premiere Anatomica at Portland Community College's Health and Technology (HT) building on the Sylvania campus in the gymnasium. Mary Oslund has collaborated with composer Darrin Verhagen (Australia), visual artist Christine Bourdette (Portland), and lighting designer Jeff Forbes (Portland) in creating this work for the eight dance artists of the Company and performed in a rectangle viewed from all sides.
Anatomica is a filmic look at the living world through layers of an endless story, one which reveals the expressive and athletic capabilities within animated figures and scenes. Funding is partially and generously provided by Portland Community College, Oregon Arts Commission, Multnomah County Cultural Commission, and The Kinsman Foundation. Dancers include Amber Baker, Rinda Chambers, Jessica Hightower, Keely McIntyre, Jim McGinn, Eric Nordstrom, Michelle Rogers, and Vanessa Vogel.
A master class with Mary Oslund happens Tuesday May 12, late afternoon for PCC students.
