<< back to schedule The Improvisation Summit of Portland 2016


Date: Friday, June 3  |  Time: 10:35pm  |  Stage: Stage 2

This is a piece of a piece for three performers. Your feelings about my body, a semi-improvised work-in-process, illuminates the vulnerable spaces of individual bodies and sounds, where they unite and divide. It will be performed in its entirety this fall at Performance Works Northwest.

Stephanie Lavon Trotter is just a vocalist, just a woman, just creating performances that utilize the sounding and moving body. She has a B.Mus from Cornish College of the Art and a MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Goddard College.

Nancy Ellis recently appeared in Boom Arts’ production of Matias Umpierrez’s TeatroSOLO at the Portland Art Museum. Next up is Stage Two of (Un)Made with Linda Austin.

Dora Gaskill is a dance artist, lighting designer, and writer. She is interested in how the objects of these practices confront each other in representational spaces. Dora is excited to present a new work called S-words at Performance Works Northwest this fall.
