Lucky 13: Ten Tiny Dances at Bluehour

By the numbers: 4 feet squared, ten dances, thirteenth iteration.

It’s the thirteenth time that Mike Barber has produced Ten Tiny Dances, a cabaret-like showcase of Portland dance and choreographic talent in 15 minute increments on a 4 foot by 4 foot stage. Ten Tiny Dances has been to Seattle, has been featured in PICA’s TBA festival, and has carved out space for dance in restaurants and clubs like Crush, Bernie’s Southern Bistro, the Doug Fir, and Bluehour.

Ten Tiny Dances 13 is this Sunday May 27  at 7:30 at Bluehour (250 NW 13th Ave) in Portland. The doors will open at 6:30 at which point, if past experience is any indication, every available seat and non-seat will soon be filled with an audience member. Tickets are available at the door only for $15.

This program features both Ten Tiny vets and new blood: Michael “Shoehorn” Conley, Robyn Conroy, Anne Furfey, Jenn Gierada + Laura Robbins, Margretta Hansen, Agnieszka Laska, Tere Mathern, Summer Morgan, Katrina O’Brien, Cydney Wilkes + Mike Barber.

Highly recommended.
