THE VOLUNTEERS OF WHITE BIRD

WELCOME BACK TO WHITE BIRD UNCAGED It is our distinct pleasure to welcome you back to White Bird Uncaged at PSU/Lincoln Hall, nearly three years since our last show in this excellent space for dance.

For us it is perfect for the long-awaited return of this Series to coincide with the White Bird premiere of Dallas Black Dance Theatre. One word stands out to us as we enjoy tonight’s show with you: resilience. Each work in this program shows us what is possible when we persevere, and nowhere is that more apparent than in LIKE WATER, the celebratory new work by Darrell Grand Moultrie that closes the evening.

From modern dance to aerial dance to contemporary ballet and beyond, tonight’s program forcefully demonstrates this company’s commitment not only to diversity of culture, but also diversity of style and legacy. This is a group that will never rest on its laurels, and through its nearly 50 year history has shown time and again a penchant for diving into unfamiliar territory.

Please join us back here at Lincoln Hall next month, when Shay Kuebler’s Radical System Art returns to White Bird with Momentum of Isolation. Conceived in 2018 on themes of loneliness and digital life, this work has only grown more relevant over time. With striking lighting design and sly humor, it is an experience not to be missed.

Don’t forget, the holidays are right around the corner! Our Holiday Pack is on sale now through the end of the year, and it makes the perfect gift. See all three shows in our 2nd annual WE ARE ONE Festival for just $70! Please visit whitebird.org/gift for more information.

ABOUT DALLAS BLACK DANCE THEATRE: Founded in 1976 by Ann Williams, Dallas Black Dance Theatre’s mission is to create and produce contemporary modern dance at the highest level of artistic excellence through performances and educational programs that bridge cultures and reach diverse communities. As the largest and oldest continuously operating professional dance company in Dallas, DBDT is the fourth-largest Black dance company in the nation, the ninth-largest contemporary modern dance company, and ranked 40th among the nation’s leading ballet companies.

Under the direction of the Artistic Director, Melissa M. Young, the contemporary company consists of 14 professional, full-time dancers performing a mixed repertory of modern, ballet, jazz, and ethnic works by nationally and internationally known choreographers.

Located in the thriving downtown Dallas Arts District, DBDT has performed worldwide for over 4.5 million arts patrons and 2.7 million students in 31 states and 16 countries on five continents. The performances include two Olympics (1996 & 2012), the nation’s most prestigious venues (Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, Broadway, Jacob’s Pillow), and for such luminaries as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and South African President Nelson Mandela. Since the pandemic began in 2020, DBDT performances have also been viewed virtually in over 30 countries. The Company has been recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts as an American Masterpiece Touring Artist (2008) and received the Texas Medal of the Arts Award for Arts Education (2017).

TONIGHT’S PROGRAM Absolute Rule A collaborative duet choreographed by Elisa Monte and David Brown investigates the coming together and going apart of various emotions during the course of a relationship. Elisa Monte describes it as a look into the “push and pull of emotional forces that surround the interaction of two people.”

PAUSE

Bodies as Site of Faith and Protest The importance of the Civil Rights Movement was that it gave the hope for equality to all Americans, no matter their race, creed, or gender. Speeches from this era not only served as a vehicle for social change, but also for selfassertiveness. This work explored the idea of bodies uniting in protest through faith. Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech “We Shall Overcome” becomes the embodiment of faith and protest; my research situates itself within the metatextual location of moving bodies alongside and within his speech.

What to Say? Notes on Echo and Narcissus Legend tells us that Echo’s love is unrequited, that self-consumed Narcissus chooses instead his reflection as a source of ardor so great he starves to death staring at it. What to Say? addresses the nuances that might have existed the possibilities that the complexities of male/female relationships may have changed very little since this ancient nymph/hunter bond.

ABOUT WHITE BIRD Our Values

Excellence in Performance Diversity in Movement Accessibility and Inclusiveness Generosity of Spirit Dedication to Community Fiscal Responsibility

Our Equity Commitment

White Bird believes in the transformative power of movement and its capability to uplift, inspire, and unite. Historically, institutionalized performing arts were built within a system of ingrained racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, and transphobia, with the result being a field that does not prioritize the voices of marginalized groups. Our commitment is to break down these structures and to foster a community that not only represents a diverse range of individuals, but gives equal access and value to their voices.

The entire staff and board at White Bird understand that systemic social norms are inherently biased. We acknowledge the unique nuances between equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), and recognize the added complexities of addressing these concepts in a historically oppressive region such as Oregon. Our vision is an ecosystem where the power of the arts is able to impact and inspire all communities, while simultaneously uniting each individual in a shared human experience.
