The Ladder & La Lune is a dance performance of collage
movement by the members of the ZWELK Dance Cartel.
Coming together to specifically investigate movement of
fluid images, ZWELK strives to develop a new mythology of
evolving archetypes through four pieces: “Asiatic Flu” — a
dialogue on freedom; “Custard Apples” — a humorous para-
ble; “Chakra Support Grupe” — six piquant and poignant
tales; and “The Ladder & La Lune” — a resonance of physical
intimacy. ZWELK derives its name from the first letter of
each of the company’s last names: Jessica Zay; Terrisa West;
Quint Ehley; David James Lord and David Koteen. For three
nights only at the comfy Lord Leebrick Theatre. See
Thursday, July 15 Calendar.

When’s the last
time you got lost? The
Oregon Country Fair features
miles of forest paths revealing a secret
mystery around every corner. Traipse for three days
along the warm, dusty, wooded boulevards to the
strumming of bards, the caterwauling of wee chil-
dren, and intoxicating laughs. Support local crafts-
people by buying goods in a quaint, beautiful setting.
Treat yourself to treats, for food carts are always
within an arm’s reach! Your stomach shall not stumble.
Enjoy twirling fire dancers, magicians, shady groves and
falafel. The Oregon Country Fair is back and better than ever!
