Time-Based Art Festival

PICA
September 3 - 13, 2009

Summary:

Theatre, dance, multi-media, and the indefinable. The TBA Festival is about bringing together emerging ideas and important artistic voices from around the world, the United States, and the Pacific Northwest. A heady cocktail of art and audience - this is an opportunity to participate in Portland at its creative zenith.

Holcombe Waller-Into the Dark Unknown: The Hope Chest

PICA and Holcombe Waller
March 26 - 29, 2009

Review by peanutduck

Initially skeptical - charming nasal self-absorption with guitar and inconsequential patter, ranging from therapy to “growing old” (at…30ish?). Gradually won over with flashes of unabashed silliness – interpretive presentation of George Michael’s "One More Try," cooing over baby niece in Three Experiments - and empathy with an honest heart laid bare.

Summary:

An international festival that takes its shirt off. Now in its sixth year, the Time-Based Art (TBA) Festival is a convergence of contemporary performance, dance, music, new media, and visual arts projects. The only festival of its kind in North America, it examines and celebrates every form of contemporary art.
