The Mycelium Dreams Project presents -
PASTfuture Long-Form Archival Conversation series with Gregg Bielemeier
Conceived and curated by Linda K. Johnson
Sunday, October 26th, 11:00am-1:00pm. FREE. ALL AGES.
Mycelium Dreams is an ongoing, durational dance cartography, interview and embodied an|archiving project initiated in 2021 by Portland dance and transdisciplinary artist Linda K. Johnson. Archival in nature, the PASTfuture interview component of the project is intent on creating an inclusive, nonhierarchical oral record of the stories of artists in the Portland community who have committed their life’s work to the field of dance. The interviews will begin with Portland’s dance elders and continue through the generations. It is multiyear and potentially unending, suggesting a community-based method of remembering our history. This conversation with Gregg is the 14th in the series.
Conversations are approximately 80-90 minutes long, followed by a 30-minute, all-level movement, composition, or somatic opportunity derived from the practice of each artist. Coffee and light refreshments will be served.
This project has been partially funded by a 2023 C3 grant from RACC, as well as in-kind support from PICA, PerformanceWorksNW, FLOCK, Stephanie Lavon Trotter, Tahni Holt, and the Dekum Street Theater.
