Keil Moton joins Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre/Northwest for a ‘No Stopping” site-specific inspired work at a parking lot of the burned out Taylor Electric building in
southeast Portland.
When a Space Speaks to You
‘No Stopping’ mines iconic locations, histories
A rust-covered car and shards
of graffiti covered ibeams set the
stage and the magnificent city
skyline serves as a jaw-dropping
backdrop for “No Stopping”
a site-specific dance series by
Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre/
Northwest.
“There is no stopping when
a space keeps speaking to you,
and as an artist I am interested
in transformation and survival,”
Ducker says.
Duckler mines various iconic
locations and Pacific Northwest
histories, and through the lens of
dance, its artists create immer-
sive experiences for audiences
around social, political, and eco-
logical issues.
A “No Stopping” 45-min-
ute performance will take place
during a special fundraiser on
Thursday, Aug. 4 at 7:30 p.m.,
followed by a meet and mingle
at the parking lot of the burned
out old Taylor Electric building
at 240 S.E. Clay St.
Two individual performances
will take place at the same lo-
cation at 8 p.m. on both Friday,
Aug. 5 and Saturday, Aug. 6. Ad-
mission to the fundraiser is $100
and the individual performances
are $25. Tickets available at hei-
diduckler.org/northwest. Heidi
Duckler Dance Theatre/North-
west is also a participant of the
$5 Arts for All ticket opportuni-
ties.
