More than a year has passed since Eugene’s
beloved storyteller Mark Lewis passed away. The
Emmy-winning local performer, author, teacher
and voice actor was nationally known for his
show Word Pictures and voicing part of the
Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.
His spirit and influence lives on in the people
he mentored, such as Angela Dunham and
Lindsey Shields of Flex Studios, a local dance
school.
“Mark is someone who you meet and fall in
love with immediately,” Dunham tells EW. “He
really believed in what we had to offer this
community. He was a part of our productions; he
would narrate all our end-of-the-year concerts.”
Now Dunham and Shields want to give back “a
small portion of what he gave to us.”
Flex Studios is hosting “FLEX*OL*O*GY,” its
annual benefit concert that this year will be
dedicated to Lewis, 7:30 pm Saturday, Feb. 20, at
Lane Community College’s Ragozzino
Performance Hall; $15. All proceeds will go to the
Mark Lewis Scholarship Foundation “to keep
storytelling alive and continue Mark’s giving and
generosity in the performing arts here in Eugene
and its surrounding areas.”
Dunham says Flex Studios worked closely
with Lewis’ wife Colleen Lewis to design the
show. The show will have several personal
touches, including a performance of a lullaby
Lewis sang to his children and channeling the
mythology and folklore Lewis loved, Dunham
says.
“He said when he died, he felt like he would
die and he would open a door and he’d be in the
middle of Manhattan and that would be heaven
for him,” Dunham recalls. “We want to open that
door for people that night.”
Also expect pirates, mermaids and Santas to
grace the stage — some of the reoccurring
characters in Lewis’ life. Coming to the show in
costume is encouraged.
“Come as you are, come in the spirit of Mark,”
Dunham says.
“We hope to give our audience a night where
they can forget all their worries and let the
stories of Mark, our dancers and special guests
lead them through a magical night of playful
thoughts and images,” Shields adds.

O’Connell is hosting a sketchbook and

Lane Arts Council announced that community
art grants funded by the city of Eugene are now
available for 2016. The focus this year will be on
“accessible, affordable and inclusive projects for
communities whose opportunities to experience
the arts are limited by ethnicity, economics or
disability.” Deadline to apply is May 6. There will
be an information session on community art
grants 4 to 6 pm Tuesday, March 29. For more
info, visit lanearts.org/community-arts-grants.
