The Mycelium Dreams PASTfuture Long-Form Archival Conversation Series, conceived and curated by Linda K. Johnson, continues in February with another conversation with one of our Portland dance elders, Vincent Martinez-Grieco.
Vincent Martinez-Grieco is a choreographer, dancer, dance educator, and creator of Soul Motion. Founder of Body Moves Studio with his wife, Anna, Vincent was very active and influential in Portland as a performer and choreographer in the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s, dancing and collaborating with Jann Dryer/Portland Dance Theater, Susan Banyas, Josie Moseley, Louise Steinman, and many others. A graduate of the now shuttered PSU dance program, his work as an artist and educator is woven into the dance community here in ways that are both seen and unseen. Come learn about this important piece of our shared performance history.
