Holiday
Show
The NW Dance Project pres-
ents “In Good Company” a fun
and holiday festive show, with
performances on Thursday, Dec.
17 and Friday, Dec. 18 at the new,
historic venue, Revolution Hall,
in the former Washington High
School of southeast Portland.
Inspired by their own school
days, the dancers choreographed
all the works themselves, re-craft-

for the former school venue.
With music running the gamut
from Puccini to Dick Dale and
several site-specific surprises, “In
Good Company” provides a bit
of fun respite from the usual hol-
iday fare and offers a unique and
intimate evening of dance for the
whole family.
Advance tickets are $32-$40

Spike Lee Film ‘Chiraq’ Opens
“Chiraq, the new film by Spike
Lee, opened this month and is now
playing at the Hollywood Theater
in Portland. The film is a mod-
ern day adaptation of the ancient
Greek play “Lysistrata,” the char-
acter from ancient Greece who
asked women to withhold sexual
privileges from their husbands
and lovers as a means of forcing
the men to negotiate peace.
“Chiraq” follows the mur-
der of a child by a stray bullet
and a group of women led by
Lysistrata (Teyonah Parris) who
organize against the on-going
violence in Chicago’s Southside,
creating a movement that chal-
lenges the nature of race, sex and
violence in America and around
the world.
The film co-stars Samuel L.
Jackson, Angela Bassett, John Cu-
sack and Jennifer Hudson.
