The Understory at The Lavender Network – Eugene, OR
The Understory explores the intersection of embodiment, presence, and social awareness through contemporary dance and individual reflection.
Following the performance, participants are welcomed into guided reflection and creative response through writing, drawing, movement or meditation as a way to further engage with the experience.
Directed by Bonnie Simoa, the Northwest Movement Ensemble (NoME) brings together dance artists of diverse movement backgrounds, sexual and gender identities, and ages. Rooted in somatic-based contemporary dance and postmodern dance perspectives, NoME’s creative process emphasizes mutual respect, embodied awareness, and a culture of care.
Evening performances Friday & Saturday begin at 7:00PM, doors will open at 6:30PM.
Matinee performance on Saturday begins at 2:00PM, doors will open at 1:30PM.
