Can self-love change the world? In this one-woman performance piece, Natalie weaves together dance, spoken word and song, sharing her journey towards expansive self-discovery and radical self-love. Be welcomed into this journey of awakening to authentic self, re-imprinting the vibrational frequencies received through the wombs of the women before her and much more! Presented as part of the Fertile Ground Festival.

Starting April 20th, we’ll meet for 7 weeks on Mondays from 6:00-8:30pm, except for the final week, which will meet on Sunday, May 31st.

Fieldwork is a framework for artists of any and every discipline to play, experiment, fail, collaborate, and most importantly, give and receive structured peer feedback. The primary goal of Fieldwork is to provide structure and support for an artist’s process. Fieldwork approaches this goal by providing artists with a place to: show work and get feedback; develop their abilities to see work and put their reactions into useful comments; combat the isolation that can come with being an artist; have a weekly deadline structure; meet other artists as peers, potential collaborators and/or performers; and to participate in discussions with other artists.

Sliding scale, suggested range of $105 – $175, no one turned away for lack of funds, payment plans available.

Very Regular Women is a solo performance by Portland-based comedienne Willow McCormick. She portrays women of uncanny confidence and well-deserved delusion, existing in the modern wilds. Ambitious and often confused, they are making the most out of making do.
