Pilobolus began in 1971 as an outsider dance company, and quickly became renowned the world over for its imaginative and athletic exploration of creative collaboration. Nearly 40 years later, it has evolved into a pioneering American cultural institution of the 21st century as its members contort, spin, lift, defy gravity, amuse, and provoke. “Grace meets physical agility to create movement that is as lyrical as it is astonishing.” (Daily Oregonian) |

Alejandro Escovedo |
|
Saturday, April 21, 2012 8:00pm - BUY TICKETS |
 |
An Alejandro Escovedo concert will find him playing for hours, draining himself and his audience with his performance. His performances can feature full-on punk sets that suddenly stop on a dime and tear the room’s collective heart out with a sparse, harrowing confessional. In between, there may be lots of moments of him digging into the glam songbooks of Ian Hunter and David Bowie. Surely one can never know what to expect seeing Escovedo perform, but one will never get bored. |
