narrow casting standards.
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. For information visit

Yulia Arakelyn's performance is the sort o f subtle beauty choreographer Curtis Walker captures through his company, Impetus Arts.
“ It’s so exciting to finally be
doing what I want to be doing with
my life,” says Walker with a wide
smile. His dedication and compas
sion has developed a community
which wasn’t there before, a com
munity rooted in the arts— regard
less of where you sit.
On Saturday, June 24"1 at 6:30
