we’re in the home stretch of PICA’s TBA Festival, here…you’ll kick yourself if you miss Nature Theater of Oklahoma tonight
Let’s just say you have never been to the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s Time-Based Art Festival. We can offer no better introduction to performances that exist in the inbetweens, (like the Osmonds “I’m a little bit country, I’m a little bit rock ‘n roll”), not theater or dance but something halfway, than Nature Theater of Oklahoma. NTOO is four supremely engaging performers engaging one another sans speech and ripping through dance routines (to Dreamweaver, Dancing Queen, and Super Bad) that will make you very happy. Full of weirdness (in a good way), surprises that you’ll be talking about for days, this show more than anything will make you want to get up and dance.
Don’t miss Nature Theater of Oklahoma tonight (and tomorrow night) at 9 PM at Portland State University: Lincoln Hall (1620 SW Park). $20.
