With Dance 2014 whirling into action on the day before Valentine’s Day, it’s a great weekend for dance lovers. Dance 2014 is an annual faculty
dance concert put on by the UO Department of Dance, and it showcases the work of over 50 student and faculty dancers, exploring themes
that deal with the passage of time, the connection between past and present and obsession with human vices like fame. “Bridge Series #2—St.
Johns,” includes video work by Bridget Murnane of UCLA, featuring shots of St. John’s Bridge in Portland. The bridge serves as a metaphor, con-
necting the present to the past a la “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry” by Walt Whitman. Sixteen dancers perform the piece, with choreography by the
UO’s Walter Kennedy. See this dance and more for a fun Valentine’s date, or catch it the day before or after.
Dance 2014 shows at 8pm Thursday, Feb. 13, through Saturday, Feb. 15, at Dougherty Dance Theatre in Gerlinger Annex, UO Campus. $10, $5
stu. & sr. — Amy Schneider
