"More than half of the companies are coming from outside the United States, and all are culturally specific - except, perhaps, MOMIX, which is arguable. The season is clearly oriented toward perspectives outside the U.S."
"The U.S.-based companies on the roster also bring strong cultural perspectives, offering contemporary interpretations of specific traditions - such as Circa, Social Tango Project, and the Bharatanatyam company Ragamala Dance Company."
"The season begins in October with Circa from Australia, followed by Hung Dance from Taiwan, Trinity Irish Dance Company, Ballet Hispánico, Social Tango Project from Argentina, Fresco Dance Company from Israel, Tentacle Tribe from Canada, and MOMIX from Connecticut."
May is a vibrant month for dance in Oregon, featuring a variety of performances from youth showcases to large-scale productions. The upcoming 2026-2027 season from White Bird is particularly exciting, with over half of the companies coming from outside the U.S. and offering culturally specific perspectives. The season includes performances from international artists and U.S.-based companies that reinterpret traditional forms. It begins in October with Circa from Australia and concludes in June with Ragamala Dance Company from Minnesota.
