Last time I blogged, I basically said "thank you Misha and Twyla for paving the way - now let's make room for the next generation" - like Hofesh Shechter! 

The rest of the world has recognized the likes of Tero Saarinen and Hofesh Shechter.  This week, Portland has the chance to find out for ourselves what all the fuss is about.  Turn off the TV.  Step away from your computer.  Put the iPhone down.  Allow yourself to experience live music and live contemporary dance.  Then tell me what you think. 

White Bird Words will precede (and provide some context for) the show, and a "question and answer" will follow.  I'm interested in your take on the performance itself.  I've heard it said that people like what they know  (more than they know what they like).  How would you know, if you don't go?  Let me know.
