After graduation he did social work, lived in New York C ity, and spent time as an a rtist's assistant before he was introduced to mixed ability dance. Two years ago he took a leap o f faith, became a teach er, and sta rte d o fferin g w orkshops. “ I want to provide a space for people to be genuine,” he says, “ How do you ch o reo g rap h a dancer who can only move their fingers and head and keep it subtle enough to let the beauty show through?” T h at’s precisely the kind of challenge W alker thrives on. Pro­ viding access to the arts is what Impetus Arts is all about. His company is made up o f people ranging in age from 24-74 and speaks to a vast range o f identity groups. They offer 3-4 perfor­ mances per year and are not afraid to exam ine them es such as race, gender, age, and ability. Recently Impetus Arts has been collaborating with W atoto Wa Dunia, an organization based out of Portland and Kenya. Both groups provide opportunities for people to express themselves and plans are being made for autumn events. In what could be a record- breaking year in attendance, seven outdoor and six indoor pools opened Monday for this summer’s swim season by the Portland Parks and Recreation department. With the price of gasoline at record highs, more Portlanders are expected to take advantage o f neighborhrxxl pools close to home. “There is every indication that our pools will be more popular than ever this summer,” said Nancy Roth, the department's aquatics program director. “And we’re thrilled that Buckman Pool will re-open after being closed last year.” The repairs and refurbishing of Buckman Pool is expected to be completed around the July 4,h holiday. The outdoor pools, heated to 85 degrees, are open through Sept. 1, also offer swim lessons, water exercises and dine-in movies. Contact your local pool for details.
