About awoldance

LOCATED in a great big warehouse in the ARCIFORM building at 2303 N Randolph, just 3 minutes north of the Rose Quarter! (off Interstate and Tillamook) A-WOL was created in 2003 as a “Collective.” The four co-founders’ (Julie, Jen, Brandy & Stacey) intention was to form a group that could operate efficiently by using the different strengths and skills of all company members, both on and off stage. Avoiding the cookie cutter feel, A-WOL consists of strong dancers each with a unique style or specialty, which gives the company’s repertory an ever-evolving texture. Off stage, each member has a specific responsibility, from costuming to rigging equipment to being an educator in the community. As a performing company A-WOL seeks to liberate audiences from traditional ideas of what it means to dance. Mingling the worlds of dance and aerial, they ignite a wonder and curiosity for what can happen when a human body takes flight. The physicality of their movement both on the floor and in the air, conveys striking fearlessness and unmistakable rigor. Through challenging the scope of human capability, A-WOL will give you something to dream for.
