Weekend Wrap: skinner/kirk & ‘Cymbeline’

Barry Johnson | February 6, 2012 | OPB Arts & Life

You may have noticed that the National Football League held one of its annual Super Bowls yesterday. I watched, as usual. The game was tense, though not particularly exciting. The commercials, some of them, were clever. This morning, the day after, I remember one really good catch, its quality amplified by the importance of the game.

Dance Review: Safely spooky BodyVox cabaret stops just short of 'Bloody' good

Bob Hicks, Special to The Oregonian

Ashley Roland and Jamey Hampton, the sprightly mother and father figures of the Portland dance troupe BodyVox, have given away the formula for their latest comic movement brew, "BloodyVox."

The BodyVox classic "Falling for Grace," for instance, is re-imagined as a ghostly visitation that subtly crosses into the realm of horror.

"Well, you're here," Jamey Hampton said, not sounding surprised about the capacity crowd in front of him, but, rather, gratified about the "here" he could share.

Dance under construction

by Marty Hughley, The Oregonian
