Bringing the world's best dance to Portland, OR for over 25 years.
What We Do
White Bird is committed to bringing the best Portland-based, regional, national, and international dance companies to Portland, OR and to fostering the growth of dance in the region. Through presenting established and emerging companies and choreographers, commissioning and co-commissioning new work, as well as collaborating with other arts organizations in Portland and the region, we are able to make these dance performances possible. White Bird strongly believes in making dance exciting, educational, equitable and accessible to everyone, young and old, of all social backgrounds, and through contributed income and sponsorships, is able to facilitate outreach to schools and keep ticket prices affordable. A passionate advocate for dance, White Bird strives to broaden audiences, develop new dance venues, and support both existing and new dance programs.

As Executive Director of White Bird I have the privilege of collaborating with a small, and extremely dedicated, team of people passionate about dance. We work hard year-round to find exceptional contemporary dance artists from around the world, bring them to Portland, and connect them with the local community in meaningful ways. Nothing we do is possible without our extended family of volunteers, though - the show doesn't go on without them! Whether you are a dance aficionado, love going behind the scenes, or just want to lend a hand where it's needed...if you want to see the arts thrive in Portland, we can use your help.
