The Polaris Dance Theater’s series production ofX-Posed brings
dance in its purest form with minimal sets and lighting.
Drawing on
songs from late
1950s through
early 1980s
Revealing dance in its purest
form, Portland’s Polaris Studio The­
ater will celebrate the music and
culture of the Motown era with
Lil’Mo, the first concert of a new
studio-based dance series called X-
Posed.
“This music was so amazing be­
cause it brought people of all types
- race, religion, economic status -
together at a time when that was not
done,” said Artistic Director Robert
Guitron, eager to recreate the inti­
mate club setting of early Motown
in the studio theater venue.
Second in a series of works hon­
oring popular American music and
the follow up to Polaris’s critically
acclaimed Blue, Lil’ Mo draws on
Motown songs from the late 50’s
through the early 80’s and captures
both the fun of the music and ex­
plores social commentary behind
the lyrics.
“We are looking for honesty in
the movement and expression that
makes a direct connection with the
audience,” said Guitron, interested
in examining different elements of
human interaction, he wanted to
express the joy in the music from
that era.
Economy-priced tickets and a
longer performance schedule are just
a few benefits in the Polaris Studio
Theater’s new streamlined approach
of minimal sets and lighting.
Lil’ Mo shows at 7:30 p.m., June
8-11 and 15-18, at the Polaris Studio
Theater located on 1501 SW Taylor.
Tickets starts at $15.

exercise was nearly impossible.
He still climbed the steps at work
but would have to stop halfway up in the body. If the nerves are

first he could not see a correlation ping halfway, he charges up the

stairs, two steps at a time! If your
