2.5 Billion Light Years On The Other End is an arrangement of certain scenes. Particular themes return and depart again and again: the mythical, historical, personal; the relation of phenomena and function to life, a dog’s bark, a tree, rock and roll, or the distance of the Milky Way to the next nearest galaxy.
Nov. 18, Dec. 1 ║ Julia Brandenburger/Rogue Theology ║ Funeral for Expectations
Monday Nov. 18
Sunday Dec. 1
All shows at 7:30
This immersive and participatory ceremony of disposition examines the life of Expectations, who measured success. As Expectations always used to say “Once you’ve achieved this goal, once you’ve accomplished this thing, once you’ve attained this position, then you will be fulfilled”. A funerary procession will lead you and your company into a dark room. You will then be taken through a series of landscapes, fun and goofy, dark and deep. You will be respectfully invited to share of your own experiences with Expectations throughout the service. www.roguetheology.com

Invisible Touch || Drama Tops, This is for you
Performance by Allie Hankins and Elby Brosch
FRI-SAT, Nov. 22 & 23 at 8pm
Tickets $12-$20 || Advance tickets here
Seattle-based Elby Brosch & Portland’s Allie Hankins share an evening of compelling dance performance.
Invisible Touch, by Allie Hankins, is a performance that centers deconstruction as a means of meaning-making. It takes many comb-throughs, and admitting things are tangled, but that’s all.
In Drama Tops, This is for you a trans masculine dancer /choreographer Elby Brosch, tells his story through duets with a cis man, Shane Donohue. Toxic masculinity is splayed open and gutted using queer humor. The potential beauty of masculinity is revealed through tenderness and empathy. Past, present, and future are woven together with strands of memory and longing. Identity is embodied through relationships between parts of a whole.December 6-7 ║ Split Chorus ║ Stephanie Lavon Trotter + Dora Gaskill**

Graphical Optical Black Out by Dora Gaskill
Within the body of a theatrical light, a gobo is a patterned template, positioned between a source of light and its lens(es) to obstruct the projected beam in a useful or beautiful way. Into a field. Creating a texture or landscape. GOBO is a choreography by a lighting designer. The dry jargon of the anatomy of light conflates with the pulsing, lively experience of the technology of perception.
Nothing’s really easy about the end of the world, an opera in progress by Stephanie Lavon Trotter
The world is on fire and drowning, water level choking, heat stifling. Do we resist it and dig underground? Or ease into it, burning up from the inside like the dinosaurs? Maybe I’m just trying to understand how I fit into this mess, how I add to it, how I can create new pathways from the ones that no longer lead us anywhere. Can we unlearn ways of being?
Dec. 13 ║ Karaoke Party! a fun(d)raiser for PWNW
Friday December 13
7pm-midnight
$10-$15 sliding scale + a minimum of $1 suggested per song you sing
